The distance between the table border and the borders of the cells on the edge of the table is the IHTMLRuleStyle::padding of the table for that side, plus the relevant IHTMLRuleStyle6::borderSpacing distance. For example, on the right side the distance is IHTMLRuleStyle::paddingRight plus the horizontal IHTMLRuleStyle6::borderSpacing.
