no, the problem is that i kind of fake under/overlines and hyphenation would spoil that game. 

The good news is that you can do: 

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]

\definetextbackground[underline][location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off]

\definestartstop
  [underline]
  [before={\starttextbackground[underline]},
   after=\stoptextbackground]

\starttext

\input tufte
\starttextbackground[underline]\input tufte \stoptextbackground
\input tufte
\startunderline\input tufte \stopunderline
\input tufte

\stoptext
