There was no bug that needed to be fixed.  This change has caused a
bug.  Though some individuals may consider this underline change an
enhancement, it's also technically a BUG since it changes default
behavior.  The change could still go in as long as it doesn't change
the way underlined text has displayed for years.

The purpose of CSS is to make a website display the way the AUTHOR chooses.
