You could try something like the following:

1) In your .xhtml code:

<p>This is a test<span class="lineThrought"></span> to simulate line-throught style</p>

2) In your .css stylesheet:

.lineThrought {
    display: inline-block; /* This is key */
    width: 1.4em; /* You must adapt the value according to the text to be strikethrough */
    margin-left: -1.4em; /* This is linked with the above value */
    margin-bottom: 0.15em; /* This is linked with the font-size */
    border-bottom: 3px solid black; /* Use here the width of you wish */
}

Of course, by using the above code, you'll need a different style for any word to be strikethrough. So, you could use a variant:

1) In your .xhtml code:

<p>This is a test<span class="lineThrought recoll1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> to simulate line-throught style</p>

2) In your .css stylesheet:

.lineThrought {
    display: inline-block; /* This is key */
    line-height: 0; /* This is key; now you don't use margin-bottom */
    border-bottom: 3px solid black; /* Use here the width of you wish */
}

.recoll1 {
    margin-left: -1.4em; /* This is linked with the width of the strikethrough word */
}

With this last variant you'll need only to use several .recollX styles.

And the workaround looks fine.
