Aaagggg, you fellows put table borders into CSS:
/* wikitable class for skinning normal tables */
table.wikitable {
border: 1px #aaa solid;
meaning that nobody will use the standard border="1" for tables,
pulling the rug out of under text browser users!
Allow us to examine a before and after case,

Both look great to you, but to me the before case is a shambles.
So now if you pull borders out of CSS, lots of tables will fall apart.
(No "drug withdraw" program available.)
So it seems the only solution is to put big warnings in documentation.
Who knows, seeing this bug report you might even go looking for tables
to trash, like the ones that thanks heavens still use both methods, e.g.,
'class="sortable wikitable" border="2"' etc.
