Not always. A year ago a graphic designer used it a quiet creative way 
in the book of interviews. All the questions or persons were underlined, 
often hyphenated. It was an experiment and it worked. By the way, some 
of the caption and figure alingment Mojca asked for was used there also. 
I've put few sample pages here (done in LaTeX):

And in Wolfgang Weingart: My Way to Typography (2000) underlined text 
are used everywhere. To much to my taste.

So not for emphasis but as a graphic element it is -- and will be -- used.
