MDN converted to Markdown

These are features that don't exist in Markdown though, unless there's some implementation that adds these. Also, the context of the parent comment and this post is documentation.

So, is it worse than HTML? Maybe, if you need those features often, but not for documentation where you'll rarely, if ever, use those.

At least an originally designed markdown falls back to HTML when it doesn’t directly support a particular feature. With Pandoc, markdown can fall back to LaTeX as well.

You can do the same in Asciidoc with the passthrough feature, either as an inline passthrough or a passthrough block. Granted, it's not syntax-less like Markdown, but it's there if you need it.

Inline example:

    pass:[<u>underlined</u>]
    or 
    +++<u>underlined</u>+++
