Description

CSS and browser implementers are looking for information about how to position underlines for various scripts, including Chinese. Can we provide them with the information they need (and add it to the layout requirements doc)? See w3c/csswg-drafts#459 (comment)

Research direction

Start with the discussion in w3c/csswg-drafts#459, especially the referenced comment, to understand what CSS and browser implementers need about underline positioning. Then update the layout requirements documentation with the relevant information for Chinese and other scripts. Done means the requirements are documented clearly enough for implementers to use.
