To output the table cell border I use

Since table cell borders overlap, some border is thicker than others.
Shouldn't be ... collapsed table borders are supposed to be coincident.
Why is that only few cell borders are thicker than others? Is there any
reason for this.
Sounds like an implementation problem.

While border-collapse="collapse" is the default defined in the FO spec, at least one implementation, XEP, only supports border-collapse="separate", so that becomes the effective default when using XEP.

With "separate", coincident borders are all drawn, so if you have two adjacent cells and the both specify borders, you will see both borders.

To create tables that will produce the same border result in all implementations, you must specify per-edge borders on fo:table and fo:table-cell. Note also that border specifications on fo:table-row, fo:table-column, and fo:table-body are only rendered when border-collapse is "collapse" or "collapse-with-precedence".

Cheers,

Eliot
