After I integrated [JDK-8326734](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8326734), there's no way to remove text decoration from an HTML element. The most common HTML element is `<a>` which is usually rendered _underlined_. You could add an inline style or apply a rule with `text-decoration: none` to remove underline.

This fix restores this functionality.

The test contains five cases. The first case ensures the `<a>` element is rendered with underline by default. The second and third cases verify that underline is removed if `text-decoration: none` is added to the `style` attribute or is applied by a style-sheet rule.

The fourth and fifth cases verify that underline is preserved the containing element, `<p>` in this case, has `text-decoration: underline`.

These five cases render the same way in browsers. However, the fourth and fifth cases render without underline in JDKs without JDK-8326734.
