Gerard, I know you have. But you're not answering my question.

I tried a simple :

<table rules="all">
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>C</td><td>D</td></tr>
</table>

The border color in IE is lighter but the result is otherwise the same across the latest releases of IE, Firefox and Opera. So I am not asking why or whether border-collapse:collapse is better or worse for rules="all", or what is/isn't in the spec. I am asking : what about IE8's rendering is less logical and/or worse than that implemented by two other browser vendors ? I'm fine with you singling out IE as long as I understand what is specific to IE for the issue being reported.
