Color-capable displays do not need text-decoration (the common
default being underlines) to distinguish hyperlinks.

Furthermore, underlines add visual noise which makes it tough to
distinguish certain characters (e.g. 'i' vs 'j', 'L' vs '|').

This also saves a small amount of energy on OLEDs and CRTs since
there's fewer pixels lit ;>
