RE the CSS part. It's not clear to me that MathML in HTML5 specifies that
table specific CSS to apply to mtable.

Of course, in reality, many things happen to work in implementations
(Gecko, WebKit, MathJax), no matter the formalities.

I should add that MathJax has to jump through all kinds of hoops to
implement mtable since table (especially cross-browser) just doesn't cut
it. Thus there are limits to "simply" applying generic table CSS. As we are
planning to re-write our mtable implementation, I'm very interested in
getting a clearer picture of the problem space as whole. In an ideal world,
we could base it on HTML tables -- if only there was a little bit of
collaboration between the two.

Peter.

PS:  Well, actually, in an ideal world I would get rid of tables entirely
but that's a completely different discussion.
