XML's purpose is to seperate structure from formatting. But you can 
customize the layout in your result document. For example:
If you convert your docbook-document to HTML you can do the formatting 
with stylesheets.
strikethrough:
text-decoration: line-through
underline:
text-decoration: underline

best regards
