The initial value of 'border-collapse' in the absence of any user/document/UA styles is "separate". See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#propdef-border-collap...

If you have a "CSS reset" that resets it to a non-initial value, that seems like a bug in that "CSS reset", no?

Ah. Well I hadn't checked the spec; I just meant that in my 5 minute testing it appeared that chrome set border-collapse to separate by default, which would explain why the parent commenter didn't ever have to set it to see table styles.
