What about users who change the region or hl-line faces to use underlining? IOW, the problem with the attribute-level idea is that it will affect those attributes regardless of the face from which they came. So I now tend to think that if we consider some faces not eligible for extension, we should not extend any face attributes at all. Too bad no one else except the 3 of us is talking in this thread; we need more opinions.
