Could we do something like:

padding-top: auto
padding-bottom: auto

Or does that just make no sense whatsoever?

Peoeple wanting unbroken borders would put the border property on TR 
or COL in that case.

Horizontal margins on inline elements od not collapse, but their 
logic when applied to block level is undefined is it not?
