That's what I thought originally, but Leif is right.  Consider this:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
<table border=15><td>A<td>B</table>
<table border=0><td>A<td>B</table>

The spec says that the first table should have a 15px border and the second no
border, which is correct.  But it says that both of them should have 1px
borders on each cell, which is wrong for the latter table.
