Hello, in the properties index for CSS 2.1 [1], there are no restrictions for the 'margin-...' properties in the "Applies to" column. Yet, in "17.5 Visual layout of table contents" [2], it says that "Cells have padding as well. Internal table elements do not have margins." Shouldn't there be a note for the 'margin-...' properties in the properties index that they do not apply to "internal table elements"? Is being an "internal table element" synonymous with having one of the 'display' property values 'table-row-group', 'table-header-group', 'table-footer-group', 'table-row', 'table-column-group', 'table-column', 'table-cell' set? If yes, am I correct in assuming that in any table that follows the HTML table model, <tr> and <td> elements can never have margins set? Regards, Christian.
