I think the catch here is that css only supports border collapsing for 
tables.

ooofice just wants to output paragraphs as paragraphs.  They could build 
a table around it for rendering fidelity or really go for it and make 
div's which have the 'proper' (left,right,top; left,right,top,bottom; 
left,right,bottom) borders set.  But it seems likely than html export is 
an xslt transform of the ooofice xml source (though I didn't check, just 
guessing).  Perhaps a clever programmer could figure out how to do those 
things functionally, but it escapes my first glance.

'Complain to w3c' would be a response with a certain amount of geek 
appeal, since paragraphs should be able to handle border collapsing. 
However, that doesn't help get your articles online...
