IMO and personal experience, trailing whitespace should be ignored when an element is implicitly closed by another. So that <TABLE> <TR> <TD>blotto <TD>sotto </TABLE> would not produce spaces at the end of blotto and sotto. Hmm. How do table cells fit into the CSS1 container model? Are they floats or inline block elements with fixed widths and margins? Oops, wrong list. David Perrell
