Well, I understand you are right, and did from the start because I've experienced it myself (even though my argument's logic failed), but I still say it's an inconsistency. :)
border= in HTML should equal border: in CSS. I understand they are different but to make them inconsistent would be one reason why people have a hard time with the "CSS or die" theory of late.

You are mixing things. Your logic fails because is applying 'markup rules' to 'CSS rules'. In <table border="1"> [the old and deprecated way to apply borders] border is assigned via an HTML * attribute* and must follow what the HTML Specs [1] says: ........ The value "border" in the start tag of the TABLE element should be interpreted as the value of the frame attribute. It implies rules="all" and some default (non-zero) value for the border attribute. ........ In <h1>The headline <em>is</em> important!</h1> There isn't an attribute border like <h1 border="1">... So, borders are applied via CSS, and now the CSS Specs [2] must be followed. 'border' Value: [ <'border-width'> || <'border-style'> || <color> ] | inherit Initial: see individual properties Applies to: all elements Inherited: no Percentages: N/A Media: visual It isn't an inherited property!
