Attributes	Description
`<algn>` (Stroke Alignment)	Specifies the alignment to be used for the underline stroke. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_PenAlignment simple type (§5.1.12.40).
`<cap>` (Line Ending Cap Type)	Specifies the ending caps that should be used for this line. Examples of cap types are rounded, flat, etc. If this attribute is omitted, than a value of square is assumed. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_LineCap simple type (§5.1.12.31).
