In short there's no guarantee that resetting one attribute will
not reset others.

A solution could be to keep track of what attributes are on and
set all attributes for each of the %b/%B... 

on %B (if so was previously on): \e[0;1;3m (bold + so) (tput sgr
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0), on %b: \e[0;3m (so) (tput sgr 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0).
