"at odds with what's actually in the spec" can also mean that the specification
does not correctly implement the decision.

Alternately, there may now be new information that should cause the decision to
be revisited.  If so, I encourage that information to be presented as such. 
For best results, the new information should address the use cases that
motivated the decision and/or presents new information that validates the claim
that "rendering table borders by default is compatible with the Web" and/or
identifies changes in user agent behavior since the decision was made that
materially affects the decision.
