MoinMoin tableclass not working

(python-moinmoin 1.9.7 on Ubuntu 14.04)

Tried to creat a class in the .css file for tables without borders, but testing the class in a wiki page, like this:
||<tableclass="noborder"> ... || ... ||
didn't work. As a workaround I tried to remove the double quotes:
||<tableclass=noborder> ... || ... ||
It worked and I had the table without borders.

Basically the double quotes create problems to the html code. This bug seems to be already known https://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/1.9.7Table_styles/class%20not%20working

I also tried the new moinmoin version 1.9.8 and found that both ways to write the class, with or without double quotes, are working (tableclass=noborder and tableclass="noborder").

Is there any chance to get the 1.9.8 into the Ubuntu repos?

Thanks!
