Netscape 6 is pre-Beta quality software; you should not make assumptions about the behaviour of the final product without first searching Bugzilla. Generally on this point: HTML is not a page description language. Authors should assume that not all browsers implement all features and should not assume that a border is a meaningful concept at all in many cases. If your design depends on such formatting details, you need to use a visual page description language, not a structural markup language. Once you accept this, most detailed formatting questions fall under general HTML hacking, not accessibility, and ought to be asked on general HTML authoring forums.
