But if you want to conform to the spec and thus pass Epubcheck, you need to follow the silly rule. And if you want to submit an ebook to a store that demands you pass Epubcheck, you gotta conform to the spec...

I just ran my book-in-progress through epubcheck, and it passed just fine, with multiple <u>s and <i>s, though the underlines are done with a style, the last forced on me by Sigil. And most of my books (most of which contain <u> and <i>) are sold on the Apple store, which mandates epubcheckworthiness.
I've never been much of a follower of rules that don't make sense. Heck, I can't even remember whether <em> means bold or italics. Each is a form of EMphasis, and so is all caps.
