Can you explain why
As for the wording, “probably should be” does not communicate the confidence I’d expect from a standard. I think it’s fine to give alternatives when alternatives are equally valid. In general, if one alternative is clearly preferred, I would just give an example for the preferred version. In some cases it may be helpful to provide the less preferred version too in contrast to the preferred version in order to explain a point. We would need to add an explanation if this is the case here. I think that if we add examples, we should definitely include an example that shows the preferred use first. Adding multiple examples and then saying that neither example shows how HTML should be done best is not helpful. |

I think the inclusion of these examples is confusing. I've never seen Chinese names being regularly underlined. I would remove this entire line.

Here’s a Wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_name_mark. Would be great to have input from China on this / gather data from chinese websites.

Why should it probably be written this way?

I think, on reflection, because I was tired more than anything. I'll strip this bit out, and wait until we get some clarity in #1247 before playing with it again.
Remove the contentious stuff - keep it simple for now.
fix #1245
