I think I agree with Dale's interpretation of the Cals table spec[1]. It
says that rowsep is "Ignored for the last <row> of the <table>, where the
frame value applies.". It does not say the last row of each tgroup. I think
it is a deficiency in the stylesheet to not output the rowsep for the last
row of a tgroup that is followed by another tgroup. I think because the
stylesheet uses an fo:table for each tgroup that it confuses tgroup with
table in the application of the table frame attribute. Each tgroup should
*not* use the table.frame template blindly.

It's probably not very common, but anyone who wants to style the
border-bottom of a not-last tgroup differently from the border-top of the
last tgroup needs both xsl:ifs.
Commenting out the first xsl:if makes tgroup no 1 use the border values
assigned in the table.frame template, including a border-bottom-style of
"solid" (and this value comes from the table.frame.border.style
attribute-set).
Instead of commenting out, you can change the first xsl:if to use (for
example)
<xsl:attribute name="border-bottom-width">0.5pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="border-bottom-style">solid</xsl:attribute>
Hmm. Well, the way the code currently is there will never be any
border at all between tgroups (unless you customize the stylesheet).
And that even if rowsep='1' on the last row a not-last tgroup.
My reading of the rowsep attribute is that it applies to the bottom of
each row, except for the last row in a table (not last row in a
tgroup), where the frame attribute should be used instead.
