Really? And
which ePUBcheck was that, pray tell?

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.

Yes. Please note the part about "...the underlines are done with a style,..."
My last direct experience with this was quite simply that using direct styling in the form of "u" did not pass ePUBcheck; I vaguely recall a discussion in-house about the inconsistency with b and i and u; and I'm fairly certain that the latest ePUBcheck will puke on underlining styling that's done directly.
