It's <table BORDER="1"> for me, forever



Gentlemen, we are facing tough times.
The people making HTML tables these days are more and more not saying
'border="1"', but instead counting on stylesheets, e.g.,
http://www.ts-spa.com.tw/room1.html .

And then there's the whole HTML 5 argument, where 'border="1"' is
invalid HTML, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18829 .

Should emacs-w3m start dealing with CSS? Nawwww.
Not to worry, genius me has come to the rescue, for one's .emacs-w3m file:

(setq w3m-use-filter t)
(eval-after-load "w3m-filter"
  '(nconc w3m-filter-rules
	  '((".*" w3m-filter-tables-always-border))))
(defun w3m-filter-tables-always-border (url)
  (w3m-filter-replace-regexp url "<table" "<table border=\"1\""))

(However this also affects browsing text/plain. Also I should make
it case insensitive for even <TABLE>.)
