Is there a way of making nroff ignore its default bold and italic settings?

Whenever the entries in the nterm/tab.XXX file are left blank,

	bdon ""
	bdoff ""
	iton ""
        itoff ""

nroff denotes italics by underlining characters and bold by striking three
times.

I would like to save my nroff'd man pages without the extra junk that cannot
be displayed in my terminals.  Can I make nroff forget about bold and
italics?
