If I'm not missing the point, then it seems that there is currently no agreement among browsers. A simple test case http://www.brunildo.org/test/td_height1.html shows that in Safari (3.0.4) and in Firefox (2.0.11, 3 beta) baseline vertical alignment of cells may make a row taller than the heights specified on single cells. In Opera (9.25, 9.5) and in IE (6, 7) this doesn't happen (unless required by cells content.) FWIW, I prefer your second formulation (but this would make FF and Safari wrong?)
