Be that as it may, it remains the case that no substantiation was provided. 

If you have new information to provide, whether supporting arguments for the claim that this is "completely the wrong solution", or a new Change Proposal calling for visual non-CSS UAs to always draw borders on tables, then you may make a request to reopen the issue.

Barring new information to reopen the decision, the WG SHOULD move on.
