RE: CSS1 and tables

Unfortunately (and believe me, I do mean "unfortunately"), legacy
rendering disagrees with you quite strongly.  Try loading this in any
version of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer:

<B>This is bold.
<TABLE><TR><TD>
This is not bold.
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
This is bold again.
</B>
