A .remove-underline helper class for anchors?

[stepandersen]

We have this rule, which we discussed, implemented and knew could be problematic as a general rule:
a { color: #266c9a; border-bottom: 2px solid #266c9a; }

It is problematic for everything except as links in a block of text. My use case is links in tables or as headings.

It is easy enough to write a custom rule to remove this underline, but is it a good idea to include a .remove-underline class to anchors? (It should get a better name of course)

We need more than just color to differentiate a link from block-text so we are skeptical to add a helper-class to remove underline. Is this an aesthetic issue? If yes then we should make new ways to present links in tables and other components.

Yes, it's aesthetic. Any solution to remove the undelines is fine by me. I don't believe that my example Charlie Checkoutcustomer under Customer will be a component though.

Another approach that might be okay is to specify underline for block text links: p a { border-bottom: 2px solid #266c9a; }.
