[Bug 16326] New: Various table-related elements are not transformable per spec

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16326

           Summary: Various table-related elements are not transformable
                    per spec
           Product: CSS
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Transforms

The specification currently defines transformable HTML elements to be only
block-level and atomic inline-level elements.  This excludes all table-related
display types except table and inline-table: table-*-group, table-row,
table-caption, and table-cell, as well as table-column and table-column-group. 
Testing in browsers (IE10 Developer Preview, Firefox 13.0a1, Chrome 19 dev,
Opera Next 12.00 alpha) shows the following support:

table-caption: supported by all
table-cell: supported by IE, Firefox, Chrome but not Opera
table-*-group, table-row: supported by Firefox and Chrome, but not IE or Opera

Firefox/Chrome make the most sense to me.  I suggest we change

"""
A transformable element in the HTML namespace which is either a block-level or
atomic inline-level element;
"""

to

""
A transformable element is an element in the HTML namespace which is either a
block-level or atomic inline-level element, or an element whose 'display'
property computes to 'table-row', 'table-row-group', 'table-header-group',
'table-footer-group', 'table-cell', or 'table-caption';
"""

(I didn't see a nicer way to define this in CSS 2.1.)

Any objections?
