I disagree - printed output is completely non-interactive. Links should
display the full URL wherever possible, but there is no need to
underline them.
In print, the underline has been a method of providing emphasis for
hundreds of years, I don't think computers change that at all. This does
also mean that I agree that abbreviations have no need to be underlined,
unless they need emphasis for some other reason, but that is really a
judgement call on the page designer. Bold or italic text might serve a
better function anyway.
