When it comes to design and especially typography, CSS would be best to 
support everything InDesign supports. Not sure about the 
text-decoration-order there though (a check would be worth it), but in 
my daily work, I often face the need for text-decoration-width, 
text-decoration-offset and custom styles like background-colors limited 
to the x-height of text.

 From a quick test is appears that underlines in TextEdit don’t cross 
descenders (text-decoration-skip: ink), so it’s hard to tell.
