I would expect a reasonable implementation of table width="100%" to behave exactly the same as table style="width: 100%", but there is no tight specification either way. Others might interpret it as meaning the best approximation to the dominant pre-CSS browser behaviour. Also note that you must read the CSS2 errata if you are dealing with table widths. I think it is unsafe to ignore the errata in this whole area. Also note that there are open bug reports about the use of width on absolutely positioned tables in Mozilla (it gets ignored).
