I guess that, ***in the css2 spec***, "a cell with specified content"
is a cell which is not an empty element. It contains at least some
pcdata. If this interpretation is correct, and I am pretty sure it is,
a clarification in the spec could help.

But your question is very interesting. Should

  <TD><P STYLE="display : none">foo-bar</P></TD>

be considered as an empty cell, from a css point of view ?
Personnally, I would say yes.
