While very informative about the general nature of epub and xhtml, I am sure, I still fail to see what that has to do with <u> being evil according to the epub spec. Also, I knew everything you just said; in no way did I contraindicate it. We are still only dealing with the html aspect of epub/xhtml, since that is what the <u> tag (and any discussion about it within the context of calibre and/or Kovid breaking the holy standards) actually touches on.
Go read the xhtml 1.1 specification and you will see. You can also look at the list of supported tags in our wiki for ePub. I was just commenting on the fact that someone claimed that ePub wasn't XML compliant but it is.
