The question is what is "the table edge"? And we're talking about a "non-rectangular background clipping rectangle" (most excellent terminology!), not a "irregular" one. That said, I'm not clear on what the problem with the standards mode rendering is... Is it not compliant with the proposed spec? Or is it just that it's not clear to authors that they need to set a margin if they're going to do that sort of thing? -Boris
