According to CSS 2.1 Specification:
1. "border-spacing" property applies to 'table' and 'inline-table' elements
2. "border-collapse" property applies to 'table' and 'inline-table' elements
3. "caption-side" property applies to 'table-caption' elements and the possible values are top | bottom | inherit
So, the examples in the downloadable file are fine (well, the caption-side property applied to table elements does not comply with the spec but it works for my browsers); the examples in the articles are not fine (border-spacing and border-collapse properties applied to th, td elements don't comply with the spec and don't work for my browsers).
"The options are top, bottom, left and right": "left" and "right" are not allowed for "caption-side" property (see above).
