[css-tables] Setting order of rendering borders with border-collapse: collapse

[ahtohbi4]

Currently, if you want to highlight any cell of a table with border-collapse: collapse by border-color there will get only two borders in needed color.

But if you could specify an order of rendering borders (e. g. border-order), we could get all borders of the highlighted cell.

.highlighted-cell {
    border-order: 1;
}

What do you think about it?

I don't think it's worth adding a new property which only works for collapsed tables. You can use outlines instead of borders:

table {
  border-spacing: 3px;
}
th, td {
  outline: 3px solid #ccc;
}
.highlighted-cell {
  outline-color: #f30;
  position: relative;
}

I agree with @Loirooriol. Our mandate with css tables 3 has been to document and standardize what we have, not adding new features.
