Comment 11 for bug 235006

> Do you mean this is how it is currently treated in Gecko's architecture

Yes.

> is there some wording in the CSS spec

Not explicitly, but the spec _does_ say that the borders do not quite belong to
the individual cells (as in, the border between two cells depends on both of
their borders in a complicated way).

And of course there's the problem with thead/tfoot that you point out...

> Perhaps this should be brought up to the CSS WG.

Which? The fact that the border-collapse model is pretty incompatible with
everything else in CSS2? I think glazou is bringing that up in the WG per our
conversation last night...
