He was very specific, altho the name of the property is confusing as it is
a table property and not a border property.  It is used by the separated
borders model for tables.  It doesn't interact with the border properties
at all, and it can only have two values not four.  It might be worth turning
'border-spacing' from CSS2 into a shorthand for 'border-spacing-height'
and 'border-spacing-width' in CSS3 Tables, but I wouldn't mind if it doesn't
happen.  (BTW, according to the current roadmap, the first draft of CSS3
Tables was supposed to be out three months ago.)
