Related to fallback & survival is WYSIWYG authoring in Web-based editors such
as CKEditor and TinyMCE. For some reason, some editors of that kind default to
not render borders. In that case, it is often too complicated for users of
these editors (which are often tied up in a CMS) to add border via CSS. Adding
a @border attribute is a simple workaround.
