User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021213 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021213 Phoenix/0.5

Issue: For table cells border outset effect looks similar to ridge effect if
border-collapse mode is also specified. See outseterr.htm (TD Outset Error
attachment)

Error In: Mozilla, Netscape 7 and Phoenix

I feel with out fixing, it wont be complaint to W3C Standard.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See attachment outseterr.htm
2. See attachment Tabs.htm
3. See attachment IETab.png

Actual Results:  
See attachment Tabs.htm

Expected Results:  
See attachment IETab.png ,
This is the screenshot of IE displaying Tabs.htm

Problem is much worse in the Tabs.htm example (A simple tab control demo). 
If switchtabnormal(1) and switchtabthick(1) executed without time delay.
(ie, if statement
window.setTimeout("switchtabnormal(1);switchtabthick(1);",100); is changed to
only switchtabnormal(1);switchtabthick(1);) 
the browser get totally confused.

as one might see from 

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#q20

*outset
    In the separated borders model, the border makes the entire box look as
though it were coming out of the canvas. In the collapsing border model, same as
'ridge'.

this is exactly what is required by CSS2.1
