Firstly: Anyone that can parse HTML5's CSS rules - see quote above - can see
that
 table[border] td{border-width:0} results in a 0 - zero - pixel border for the
table *cells*, regardless of the value or @border.

Secondly, you seem to repeat what Aryeh has already remarked:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0616.html
Namely, you [or more correctly, the spec text you quoted] speak about the
borders on the very <table> container element.

But otherwise, it is a very good point you have that <table border="0"> results
in <table style="border-width:0">. The question then becomes: why does it not,
as this bug report suggests, also result in <td style="border-width:0"> and <th
style="border-width:0">?
