Note that while RFC 7997 mandates the mention of code points for characters that go into the protocol, it does not mandate the use of <u.  (It cannot have mandated that, as <u wasn’t invented yet.)  Requiring the use of <u to fulfill the requirement of RFC 7997 clearly was overstepping the remit of the tool that is xml2rfc.
