Steve's data very clearly shows that there are tables out there with @border
that are indeed presentational. Your "analysis" of his data mostly indicated
that you don't seem to have a clear grasp of what a presentational table is.

So, indeed, the onus is on you to show that a) this is not an issue and b) your
proposal has merit.
