When only 0.29% of web users change the size of the text in their
browser*, the number of people with custom link settings must be
vanishingly small. (I had not even heard of this option until now.)
Therefore, I vote for no underlining of links. At the very least there
should be no underlining in the Table of Contents because everything
there is a link.
