For _eliminating_ border-spacing, that's the right approach. Of course,
"border-collapse: collapse" doesn't allow you to _adjust_ the amount of
border-spacing, but only eliminate it. If you want to be able to adjust it,
you would use:
table {
border-collapse: separate ;
border-spacing: 5px ;
}
Unfortunately, no existing version of IE/Win32 (up to and including IE
6) supports the "border-spacing" property.

Nope, sorry. Of course, neither cellpadding nor cellspacing is
deprecated in x/HTML [1], so they are legal. But your desire to separate
your markup from styling is laudable.
