It's just a good one, if somewhat surprising. Wasn't it that setting
line-height on block-level elements gave the minimum height of a line box?
Why not simply put a td,th{line-height:0;} into one's stylesheet and be
happy that we still have the typographically nicer option of leaving
line-height be? That does lead to shrink-wrapping, doesn't it?
