When we use ulem only for change tracking then no objections from me, otherwise
yes.
ulem does not support hyphenating and strikes out character parts below the
baseline.
For example will ulem strike through the lower parts of "p", "g" etc. while soul handle this case
correctly. As ulem doesn't support hyphenations and has some other disadvantages compared to soul,
Heiko Oberdiek chose soul as base for his UTF8 striking package soulutf8. (OK, I don't know exactly
the internals of soul and ulem concerning Unicode.)
(Btw. I described both packages in my old LyXMathebefehle file, see
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/LyXMathebefehle/LyXMathebefehle-3-09.pdf , sec. 22.13.)
