The documentation here seems rather un-detailed.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Tables-in-HTML-export.html#Tables-in-HTML-export

What I wanted to do was to have vertical rules between all columns, but not 
horizontal rules. Neither this section of the documentation, nor the 
docstring for org-html-table-default-attributes, provide any details on how 
to do this.

It's a rather busy day and I'm not in the mood to scour through the elisp 
sources, so, could someone please enlighten (and fix the docs)?

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.

Did you try column groups?

  (info "(org) Column groups")

It is not back-end specific.

No, I hadn't... I was in a rush and trying to do something that I thought
would be simple (and just a quick and dirty one-off export). Even given
more time, I'm not sure I would have thought to look in the tables section.

It may be useful to link to this from the page on tables in HTML export,
then.

I slightly enhance the "Tables in HTML export" section of the manual.

Thanks,
