Yes, the more I think about it the more sense it makes to go for a
separate double line function. For example, the following two tables
with double outer lines are perfectly fine in LaTeX:
\begin{tabular}{||c|c||}
\hline
& \tabularnewline
\hline
& \tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
\hline
& \tabularnewline
\hline
& \tabularnewline
\hline
\hline
\end{tabular}
However, with LyX they are not achievable because double lines are
created using a combination of right and left (or top and a bottom) line
and outer table borders have only one of those lines.
