It's just a little more visually distinctive than a straight underline and slightly more suggestive of an error condition. Perhaps one could allow the underline face attribute to have a list value like the box attribute can: The feature would be unproblematic, but now's not the time for new features like that. If someone wants to implement it, after the next release, installing it would be no problem.
