The sequence went something like this, IIRC:

A few emails back, Alexandre asked that I underline the headers, because he
didn't think they were sufficiently differentiated.

I didn't want to underline them because I was afraid it would suggest that the
other links weren't links, if you see what I mean, so I italicized them instead.

It was all mixed in with the discussion about the drop shadow.
