(As you know, this change won't be necessary for epub3 books, because the <u> tag has been undeprecated in HTML5.)

I'm not entirely opposed, but at the same time, I'm not crazy about the idea of Sigil injecting inline styles. They just make things so difficult to change later.
And while I'm not personally opposed to "Mend" changing the occasional "strike" to "del" in my code, I worry about how others would feel about it. Does Mend currently change any other tags to different ones under normal operation? Still, those who don't like it can always turn off Mend on Save/Open, I guess. *shrug*
What if we let it brew a little bit and let some others chime in? While spec compliance is important, it's also important to realize that there really isn't a rendering system in the world that will kick up it's heels at "u" and "strike" tags. There's too much legacy material out there to risk breakage by removing support. Would it really hurt to let the user decide how compliant they want to worry about being?
