To the greatest degree possible, PyDocX intends to conform with this and subsequent standards.

Deviations

In some cases, it was necessary to deviate from the specification. Such deviations should be only done with justification, and minimally. All intended deviations shall be documented here. Any undocumented deviations are bugs.

Missing val attribute in underline tag

• In the event that the val attribute is missing from a u (ST_Underline type), we treat the underline as off, or none. See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff532016%28v=office.12%29.aspx

  If the val attribute is not specified, Word defaults to the value defined in the style hierarchy and then to no underline.
