Re: [CSS 2.1] cases that do not pass in any browser

1. http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100701/html4/abspos-005.htm

   Absolutely positioned tables are an interesting case. They should  
create a BFC and so work exactly as a block-level element that has  
been absolutely positioned. That just in theory.  If the goal of this  
test is to hide the text 'Fail' with an absolutely positioned table,  
then the stacking order is incorrect, since the table should come  
later in the source (of course if I understand this test correctly).  
Another interesting aspect is the set of coordinates used in this  
test.  You could try to rewrite this test as follows:

html, body {
   height: 100%;
   min-height: 100%;
}

table {
   height: 100%;
   width: 100%;
   table-layout: fixed;
}

I can't test it right now. Let me know if this has helped you. If you  
need more help, you can contact me on Saturdays and Sundays, because I  
work a lot (sorry :-() this period. HTH Gabriele :-)
