Netscape has used BORDER=number to set the border width on table. The draft
uses BORDER=border.style to set the border style. These are two conflicting
uses of the BORDER attribute. Switching the draft to BORDER.STYLE would
remove the conflict with existing tables.

Alternatively I can change my version of the DTD to turn BORDER into CDATA
and then interpret BORDER=number as BODER=ALL, style BORDER.WIDTH = number.
This preserves backwords compatibility.

Another fix would be to send both versions of the attribute to stylesheet
land.
