DOCBOOK-APPS: Table formatting

I'm using NW's stylesheets with (open)jade.

One of my biggest peeves has been the way framed tables are formatted
for the tex output - there is absolutely no padding at all between
side-rules and the text, which is a somewhat displeasing effect.  I'd
been using the 1.3 stylesheets for some time, and just grabbed the
latest today, but note that the formatting is still this way.

Is this a problem with jade (or openjade - I've observed this with
both), or with the stylesheets?  What would be a recommended way of
dealing with this?
