Problems setting border on Tables

The border property has no effect on tables. This page contains the following stylesheet:

     BODY { background: #CCCCCC; color: black; }
     TABLE { border: solid lime 10px; }

Here is a table:

This is a table, with a 10 pixel bright green border. Can you see it?

The same problem occurs with the other table elements: TD, TR, COL, COLGROUP, THEAD, TFOOT, and TBODY.
