+<para>Tables using HTML markup elements can use an attribute
+named <tag class="attribute">rules</tag> on the <tag>table</tag> or
+<tag>informaltable</tag> element
+to specify whether column and row border rules should be 
+displayed. This parameter lets you specify a global default
+style for all HTML tables that don't otherwise have
+that attribute.</para>
+<para>These are the supported values:</para>

+<para>The border after the last row and the border after
+the last column are not affected by
+this setting. Those borders are controlled by
+the <tag class="attribute">frame</tag> attribute on the table element.
