If arbitrary text decorations are added, they will simply ignore text-underline-position. Note that it does affect overlines, at least in cases where the underline is drawn in the overline position. This particular switch is important for internationalization, so we believe it is necessary to keep in the spec, and since it does not block future enhancements, we don't see a reason to remove it. Please let me know if this is acceptable. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Feb/0363.html ~fantasai
