I don't think this is a CSS3 issue. It's a CSS-vs-HTML-presentational-attrs
issue, and there's no spec for that. Several members of the HTMLWG have
expressed interest in such a spec, but it's not /really/ in scope for CSSWG.

As for expected results, I think the current state of affairs is to look at
the relevant specs and apply some common sense to tie them together. In this
case, my common sense says table { border-collapse: separate } shouldn't cause
cell borders to disappear from a [rules=all] table.
