I know, I know, you hate table borders.

Yes. I dislike table borders in general, but especially in a situation like these messages. The vertical lines actually detract from readability. We read horizontally. There's already a strong vertical limit provided by the browser's borders. That's enough.

You'll never see a box around the text of a well-designed book page. Boxes are, however, often placed around sidebars to the primary information. Here, on SI, the message isn't a sidebar. It's the main text. The new design properly treats it that way.
