As per the my comments in bug 24591, including reference to a HTML WG decision, it does not make sense to keep border out of the list of permitted attributes. 100524 3 xn--mlform-iua 2014-02-13 13:04:15 +0000 Robin, I will further note that there is no such thing as being ”half pregnant”: The @border attribute *is* part of table - HTML5 and HTML51 do make that clear, just look at the attribute index http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/index.html#attributes-1 - and the section to which it point - http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/tabular-data.html#attr-table-border 101626 4 robin 2014-02-28 16:17:02 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: reverted change Rationale: The editor's position is that this decision is wrong and that the arguments in its favour have limited merit; however it would require more energy to fight than the conformance of the border attribute is worth.
