The only characters that introduce separation in a standard typeface are the ones with descenders: q, y, p, g, j, and some punctuation characters.

I have no idea why you think i_f, r_a, c_e, or almost any of the other pairs of letters in your example would have a discontinuous underline.

Edited, better?

They are saying that currently if there is a break in the underline it is understood that the two underlined portions of the word are two different links.
