I am thinking the other way -- underlining is generally applied to words rather than letters, and while the letters may jiggle and float a bit, the underscore should not follow the individual characters. See for example http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/TopAlignBrowsers.png As based on experiments at http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/tspanmeasure.svg and http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/tspanmeasure4.svg and as discussed in http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/GeometricAccessibility.html Having an option that users could apply might be very nice.

Safari/Chrome do the former, Opera the latter. (Didn't test IE since I did not want to suffer the pain of starting up my VM right now.) I'm leaning towards preferring rotating the decorations.
