OK, I verified that
"Note: As of August 20, 2008 new tables created by using the Wikipedia
table button include border=1 and so they do not have this problem."
on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table#Viewing_tables_in_email_and_web_pages_outside_Wikipedia
is true.

Perhaps a bot could be made to repair the earlier bad tables.

But how could it tell which tables were intentionally without borders.

You see all the regret that is caused by not following standards, and
now there is no easy way to back out nor stop shipping MediaWiki with
the dangerous borders in the table CSS.

All we can say is if a user encounters a table that he cannot read,
(assuming he can even tell it was supposed to be a table in the first
place), he should feel free to add a border, unless he encounters a
<!--no border on purpose! --> comment.

Perhaps add a warning in skins/common/shared.css

Closing this bug.
