You are right, the documentation is misleading (while the name should say it).

How about

    borderless
      Remove all borders.

?

I tested [borderless](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/config.html#table-style) with `rst2html.py` and found out that produced table was literally "borderless" which contradicted what I had understood from the documentation:
```
borderless

    No borders around the table.
```
I was expecting no top, right, botttom and left borders but *all* borders of *all cells* are removed.  However I am not educated enough in Tables so maybe my expectation was too ill-informed.  Or I misunderstand "around", as I am not native speaker.
