Please keep your arguments on a technical level, with courtesy to other 
participants.

Your point appears to be either

a) that underlines which cut through descenders are preferable. If so, 
please cite some legibility or typographic material in support of this 
assertion.

or

b) that underlines which cut through descenders are both commonplace and 
desirable, depended upon, and should not change. In that case, please 
provide some evidence that this is desirable (as well as just being common).
