I don't think they are needed. Underlines is generally bad,
strike throughs are worse ;-)

Ev. also monospace, e.g. for commands, but I really prefer to have
a simpler language as possible.

Could provide us an example of Resstructued for the basic constructs?

I like also creole (standardized wiki language, moinmoin support it), but no definition lists,
underline, strike throughs.

So for creole:

* unordered lists	\n *  \n **
* ordered lists		\n #  \n ##
* emphasis		//foo//
* strong emphasis	**bar**
* definition lists	missing  ev. \n **spam** is spam
* hypertext links	normal url
* underlines, and strike throughs 	missing, missing
