[CSS21] Question on section 17.6.1 The separated borders model and width of inline-table

Hello,

I have one question on this testcase:

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101210/html4/empty-cells-applies-to-007.htm

What should be the actual dimensions of such black square?

Firefox 3.6.13 renders a 26px by 26px black square: a 5px solid black
border and 16px content box (1em)

Chrome 8.0.552.224 renders a 16px by 16px black square: 16px border-box
(1em).

I think Chrome 8.0.552.224 is correct in its display (the black box should
have a 16px by 16px dimensions) because

"
the width of the <table> element is the distance from the left border edge
to the right border edge.
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#separated-borders

therefore, the box-sizing should be set to border-box in such testcase.

Am I wrong?

FYI, Opera 11.0 does not display a black square and Konqueror 4.5.5
displays a 16px wide by 6px tall rectangle.

regards, Gérard
