Yeah, so the latter one (i.e. count escapes and mark-up letters when
computing how long your underline need to be) is required to please
both.  I knew AsciiDoc allowed a bit of slop and that is how your
experiment (the first one above) was fine.  I didn't know how large
a slop AsciiDoc allowed, but it seems at least we can be missing two
and the tool is still happy.

So it seems.

Thanks.
