Document formatting preferences don't always apply to braille in browse mode #7615

Description

@dkager

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Select a braille table that can report italic text.
  2. From Preferences --> Document formatting, uncheck Font attributes.
  3. Read the following line (tested with Firefox 55).

This is italic text.

Expected behavior:

The italic text is not marked as italic.

Actual behavior:

Speech does indeed not mention the italic attribute, but braille still shows it.

Other information

Can't reproduce in Word, so it seems specific to browse mode.

First reported by @rimas-kudelis in #1885 (comment). The key take-away point is that this problem is quite annoying for users on the web, and if unresolved may lead to people "fixing" braille tables to exclude bold/italic/etc altogether.
