There was recently a discussion on this list where somebody wanted to redefine
the unicode braille characters to display a single uniform dot pattern, which
kind of would defeat this approach.

Is it possible to set andMask to 0 for all the cells that need to padded in
text, unless andMask (provided by te user) is long enough to take care of
them? This way the cells are forced to be blank. This is what I did in my Rust
implementation, but as BrlAPI does all necessary padding now, I'll start to
utilize the server features.
