Border collapsing implementation for tables

[David Hyatt]

I can reproduce and haven't fixed either issue.

I've been arguing for changing the behavior of border collapsing so  
that margin spill is unlikely in the CSS WG (and so I hadn't come back  
to the code yet).  I really hate the fact that the table border spills  
into the margin. :)

The behavior of collapsing borders on spanning cells is also  
under-specified, and so it was unclear to me how to handle them.
