I was determining the width of the element by setting a background 
colour, and the background colour of the first and last divs only 
extends one cell across, I hadn't really understood your earlier comment 
about anonymous boxes.  I wouldn't have hit the problem in the first 
place if I'd realised I could apply the display: table directly to the 
second row in the first place, I just was trying to understand what was 
going on.

Now that I have a better context the spec is making more sense to me. 
I'm going to stop sidetracking this thread now, when I next hit a wall 
of understanding I'll start my own thread for it :)

Thanks for all the help.

Rob
