Here are the 'cons' to this solution:
1.
The developer has to remember the attributes in the order you chose.
There is no friggin' way I'm going to remember that you put
cellpadding before cellspacing on a day-to-day basis. Sorry.
2.
If they want the default border, whatever that is, they have to know
what it is, and provide it, to get the non-default width.
Passing in NULL does not count, as it will not work in PHP5+
3.
You've basically swapped a simple table tag:
<table border="0" width="100%" ... >
with an almost equally long and complicated function call:
tabletag(0, '100%', ...);
So, really, where's the benefit?...
You can just call the function, or you can just type the table tag.
I see no "win' here, personally.
Obviously others do see an added value, of course.

If you have enough TABLE tags for the performance to be an issue, then
the browser willl choke...
However, assuming you have a function for TR and/or TD, then the
number of rows in a large TABLE could be a serious performance issue.
This is all assuming proper use of TABLE for tabular data and not
layout, thank you very much CSS weenies :-)
