I think you mean vertical rhythm :)

Borders do that.  It's a known problem when trying to establish a
vertical rhythm.  You have to offset the table's position by an amount
equal to the combined height of the horizontal borders.  You have to
do it with the 'em' unit so that it doesn't get messed up again if the
user changes font size.

It's discussed in more detail at the 24 ways site:
