[Bug 24591] Make W3C HTML5 spec clearly and correctly state that table@border is obsolete & invalid (nonconforming)

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24591

--- Comment #10 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> ---
Actually, for ”the trunk” - HTML 5.1 - it was Hixie that made table@border
disappear. ANd it appears to have happened in his “giant clean-up of 2013“ on
Nov 07, 2013:
<https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/5f540174f5fde713e45b72c81e530fb5d964d2df>

Before that date, @border is in, starting with that date, @border is out.

Hixie stated in his commit message this: ”No normative changes.”
Thus, evidently, the omission of @border - a normative change - was an error.

The dog might be burried in the following commit message:
”W3C editorial note: Added several missing FORK markers, [...]”
So Hixie may have blundered w.r.t. to where he placed his new FORK markers.

So, I would once more expect the editors to fix Hixie’s mishap.
And to not use his mishap as pretext or evidence for anything.

(For HTML5.0, this error only appeared in mid-January.)
