Hi Nicolas,

Nothing wrong /per se/ but, I modified `org-html-underline' so that it
uses a specific class "underline" instead of hardcoding the style.

(There is no style="..." parameter left in the HTML export.)

<span class="underline">text</span> does not mean anything for
Markdown.

We could have org-md-underline to export to <u>text</u> but this tag
is deprecated in xhtml and html5.

As for using <span style="text-decoration: underline;">text</span> 
I think it goes against Markdown's philosophy to keep things light.

So on the overall, I find using `org-md-verbatim' a quite good
trade-off.
