A very good point.

Another good point :)

I put together some test cases using "table td" and "table tbody td":
<http://wg.irama.org/html/test/table/implicit-tbody.html>

... And indeed it was the second selector that always matched (in FF2). 
In fact viewing the generated source (DOM source), there was always a 
tbody inserted. And the same is true of other browsers tested (IE6, 
Opera9.2, Safari3.0.2).

You learn something every day :)


I might be missing something though. I can't see that it would it be a 
problem for UAs to treat di the same way?
