As style it needs no default. Of cause, for interoperability it would 
better to define a default.

Yes, in Calc the borders are always collapsing. In Writer the user can 
choose the border-model. In Writer a style:default-style element of 
family="table" is written with the attribute 
table:border-model="collapsing". This element is missing in Calc. I 
agree with you, that it would be better, if LibreOffice would write the 
default in Calc too.

The padding is in the cell properties tab "Borders". In older versions 
it is named "Spacing to contents" and was disabled, if no border was 
set. In newer versions it is called "Padding" and always available.

Kind regards
