Underlining is simply bad typography in typesetting. That's why italic is used.
Technically it had been possible in otroff to underline--they did not use it
for style reasons.
I would have no problem with a special groff request with a new name. But one
can't change .ul. There are people who use troff for typesetting book-like
documents or anything else. They rely troff as they know it.
(Really ANY book mentions this special property of .ul in troff!)
