> Edit: Just noticed that the stem of the "p" in "OpenBSD" is not obscured by the underline (at least in Chrome). That, along with the italic "Open" with non-italic "BSD" is quite aesthetically pleasing. Is this due to a design whiz who got interested in BSD, or is this just HTML5 doing its thing?

This is just Chrome's default rendering of underlines, which occurs even with no explicit styling:

    data:text/html,<u>upu
In my opinion, it's a cute stylistic effect which looks nice in headers &c., but feels inappropriate in running text. An odd default.
