Specification

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#tables-2

Summary

This change removes the erroneous `border-color: gray` CSS rule from the UA stylesheet for the `<table>` element. The spec does not contain this rule: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#tables-2 and it causes the borders to incorrectly not default to currentColor. Neither Firefox nor Webkit have this `gray` border color rule in their UA stylesheet, leading to interop problems.

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
