Thanks for the corrections; I should have looked for a key to the
conventions they use.
It's clear why they would not want to use the HTML underline.
The additional information is content, not style.

Hi Mark,
the use of DOT BELOW and LINE BELOW is in fact consistent in
German Duden. The
difference in the diacritics is used to denote length of the
stressed vowel, DOT BELOW
denotes a short vowel and LINE BELOW denotes a long vowel.
Diphthongs are always long and there is a single line under the
whole Diphthong.
Digraphs (e.g. the "ou" in words borrowed from French) also have
either a single line
under the whole digraph or (this happens rarely) a single dot in
the middle of the
digraph.

*Betreff:* Combining character example
I happened to run across a good example of productive use of
combining marks, the Duden site (a great online dictionary for
German). They use U+0323 ( ̣) COMBINING DOT BELOW to indicate the
stress. Here is an example:
ụnterbuttern
http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/unterbuttern
They aren't, however, consistent; you also see underlining for stress.
e̲i̲nschränken
But not, interestingly, with the HTML underline, but with U+0332 (
̲ ) COMBINING LOW LINE.
