Made a point! Weak defense: the same issue is in the ALA article, but it 
is masked over there. [1]
I figured out that just canceling the a { text-decoration: none; } is 
enough (and a third remark is not needed).

[1] The underline is gone with the: a { text-decoration: none; } in the 
article.css, but by accident it is coming back via the general ALA 
stylesheet base.css: a { border-bottom: 1px solid #555;}.
