Given
table#main {

, why does the main table have borders around the outside only? IOW,
why won't the tr and td elements inherit the border property?
Because border doesn't inherit:
'border'
Value: [ <border-width> || <border-style> || <'border-top-color'> ] |
inherit
Initial: see individual properties
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
If you use 'collapse', you are not using the old-style HTML 3 table border
anymore. So if you want specific effects on table cells etc you better
specify them all yourself :)
