Re: text-decoration-skip-ink auto should continue past behavior - 30+ years of underline behavior changed by latest CSS draft

Thankfully, we didn't go that route in the beginning.  I prefer the
line cutting through the descenders after seeing both styles.  Since
I've seen it that way all of my life, I think that's the way it should
be done.  That's my whole point.  A default has been established, and
we should keep using that as the default.

Open any word processing app like Microsoft Word.  Underlined text
works the way I describe.  It's only recently that someone had the
idea to change it, and why?  What was wrong with the old way?
Nothing.
