<P>
U is used to indicate the enclosed text should be underlined. As most
browsers use underlining to indicate hyperlinks, try to avoid this tag.
It can confuse your users if they see "hyperlinks" that do not work.
<P>
Underlining is an alternative rendering for italic text (for example,
on typewriters). Since HTML has an <A HREF="../font/i.html">I</A> tag for italics, use that
if this is what you are using U for.
<H2>Notes:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>Most graphical browsers do not support underlined text, since it
makes it harder to distinguish text from hyperlinks.
