By using a row class, you can avoid some duplication in the CSS, and
the need for a 'middleCell' class.  Still the same hackishness, but
(at least to me) seems slightly cleaner.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
tr.bordered td {
        border-top: 2px solid #f00;
        border-bottom: 2px solid #f00;
}
tr.bordered td.firstCell { border-left: 2px solid #f00; }
tr.bordered td.lastCell { border-right: 2px solid #f00; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr class="bordered">
        <td class="firstCell">tbody</td>
        <td>tbody</td>
        <td class="lastCell">tbody</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
