[jats-list] Converting OASIS tables to JATS

["Michael Boudreau mboudreau@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Were moving forward with a plan to convert OASIS table markup to the JATS
model in-house before sending it to our platform vendor. For the most part
its pretty straightforward, but one issue Im puzzling over is the colsep and
rowsep attributes of OASIS <entry> elements, which dont have a direct
analogue in the JATS <th> and <td> elements.

For the moment, Im accounting for this by adding a style attribute depending
on whether colsep or rowsep or both are specified as 1:

colsep="1" => style="border-right: solid thin black"
rowsep="1" => style="border-bottom: solid thin black"
colsep="1" and rowsep="1" => style="border-right: solid thin black;
border-bottom: solid thin black"

Is there a better way?
