AFAIU, in current state table decoration is hard coded into exporter.
But that doesn't mean you cannot change they style. Take a look on this
small example:
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
#+TITLE: Table with borders
#+AUTHOR: Vladimir Lomov
#+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tbl.css" />

* Small table

| Name         | Address        |
|--------------+----------------|
| Clifford, A. | Kensington Av. |
| Euler, G     | Krechet Str.   |

* CSS Style                                                        :noexport:

#+BEGIN_SRC css :tangle tbl.css
  table {
    border: solid 1px;
  }
  td {
    border: solid 1px;
  }
#+END_SRC
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------

How to try: tangle the SRC block and then export the document into HTML.
Open it in any web-browser that supports CSS.
