execCommand('underline') on links

[caub]

Chrome had this behaviour where links couldn't be un-underlined, Firefox can force their css.

What is the status on this? I think FF has a good approach

I assume this comment is related to the contentEditable=True spec, correct @cauburtin? Could you make a more concrete proposal of what you would like to see done? Otherwise, if it's meant to be a more general point of discussion, you may get more feedback by mentioning it on the mailing list.

In a contentEditable true element, I'd like to be able to execute the underline command on <a href="/foo">bar</a> (it would toggle the text-transform:underline property) (it works only on Firefox)

But I see that execCommand has no spec, and this isn't so important, so I don't know.

@cauburtin: Actually, execCommand does have a spec. I have moved the issue to that. But be aware of the notice at the top of the spec which specifies the limitations of it (and that it may not be a good idea to invest any time into it right now).
