* HTML5 says that the presence of @border attribute on a table element, should lead to 1px wide borders for all cells in the table.
   http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/rendering.html#decohints
   (See bottom of the code examples of this section.)

* Thus, according to HTML5, @border, when used inside <table>, in practise is a boolean attribute.

   And, apart from the bug(s) documented in this very bug, this is what Webkit does too.

   The bug, though, is this: if the author adds a border on the parent element - that is: on the <table> element, then the borders aroun the cells disappear.
   The same does not happen in IE, Opera, Firefox.

Example 1: Here there is a border around all cells in all Web browsers:
     <table border="1"><tr><td>...<td>...</tr></table>

Example 2: Here there is a border around all cells in "all" Web browsers - EXCEPT in Webkit
      <style>table{border:1px solid blue}
     <table border="1"><tr><td>...<td>...</tr></table>

Example3: This example is like Ex 2, except that it uses inline CSS - then the borders do not disappear.
     <table style="border:1px solid" border="1"><tr><td>...</tr></table>

Example 4:  When the value of border = "0", what then? Well, according to HTML5, there should be a 1px wide border still. And at any rate, it should be possible to undoo the styling caused by the @border. However, <table border=0> have similar bugs as documented in Example 2 and 3.
