rules="all" attribute specification not supported (or not rendered) in border-collapse: separate tables

1st row 1st row 1st row 1st row 1st row
2nd row 2nd row 2nd row 2nd row 2nd row
5th row 5th row 5th row 5th row 5th row
3rd row 3rd row 3rd row 3rd row 3rd row
4th row 4th row 4th row 4th row 4th row

Expected results: there should be rules around each cell of the above table.

There is nothing in the HTML 4.01 reference that prevents or hampers a border-collapse: separate table from rendering table rules when rules="all" is specified.
