Actually, I thought I'd explain that one ...

The link is the entire sentence - so that screen readersread the whole
phrase out, not just a partial, but on screen we don't want a big fat
underline on the whole link, so just a key part of it is underlined using
<u>. This is then styled with CSS such that links in the body of the page
are not underlined, but the <u> tag applies an underline where we want it.

Good point about the pop-ups - they're not accessible. I will try to get a
change put in for these!
