RE: table row and content rectange

It is used by the table layout algorithm to compute the min/max block progression dimension (height in a ltr-tb mode) of the row. This information will be used to determine the BPD of the cells wholly contained within the row or the BPD of some portion of a cell which spans the row. See CSS2 17.5.3 Table height algorithms for further information.
 
The issue of whether the row has a content rectangle or child areas is orthogonal to the above usage.

Subject: table row and content rectange
 
Hi All:
 
   How is the "block-progression-dimension" property of a table row be interpreted?  A table
   row generates no areas (and no content rectangle???).  Are we to interpret this property
   to apply to each of the cells within a table-row and really have no effect within the table-row
   FO itself?
 
Thanks,
Carmelo Montanez
