This issue still seems to be reproducible on WebKit. Based on some initial analysis, it seems that the painting of borders for an empty <td> also seems to be dependant on the doctype of the document:

1. No doctype specified. FF - No broders, Opera - No borders, I.E. - No borders, WebKit - Draws the borders.
2. Invalid doctype (name) e.g. <!doctype> or <!doctype xyz>. FF - No borders, Opera - No borders, I.E. - Draws the borders, WebKit - Draws the broders.
3. Valid doctype (HTML5 or otherwise) - All browsers draw the borders.

Am not sure whether such behavior is part of some specification or not and whether we really need to fix this issue. Would appreciate thoughts on the same.
