Hmm.  Well, the way the code currently is there will never be any
border at all between tgroups (unless you customize the stylesheet).
And that even if rowsep='1' on the last row a not-last tgroup.

My reading of the rowsep attribute is that it applies to the bottom of
each row, except for the last row in a table (not last row in a
tgroup), where the frame attribute should be used instead.
