The way in which borders of a table, i.e. table border and cell borders, are rendered in Webkit when the border color has alpha and the table has border-collapse:collapse is not as expected.

In excample 1 everything is ok. No value for cellspacing means 2px between cells. Every cell has its own border which darkens the background-image a bit. In 2 cellspacing is set to 0 and
as expected the borders lay together, the table border too. When in 3 border-collapse is applied the red table border is not visible. With a linewidth of 2px for the table border in 4 it is visible
again. The 1px cell border darkens the inner px of the table border. But why is in 3 no table border visible? The added line for declaration of transitional changed nothing (5 and 6).
Maybe because there is a cell background defined which is opaque? In 7 and 8 the background is removed and again in 7 the table border is not visible. It should shine red through the
0.1 transparency of the cell border. In 8 the table border is visible but the outer cell borders are not visible like in 4 and 6. In the corners the cell border seems to be applied two times and
on the edges the cell borders are too long and darkens the table border.

Pretty sure we have an old bug on this.
