No. You have misunderstood the table layout algorithm. I don't know
about formal the definitions, but (as was mentioned earlier in this
thread) when mixing pixels and percents a table cell will stretch best
it can.
An example, plain old HTML:
<table width="500">
<tr>
<td width="100" id="1"></td>
<td width="100%" id="2"></td>
<td width="200" id="3"></td>
</tr>
</table>
In this case cell 1 will span 100 pixels, and cell 3 will span 200. Cell
2 will use up what is left.
You are correct that this is not the way the rest of the box model
works, but (as was also mentioned earlier) tables predate CSS, and have
been introduced as is through their respective CSS properties.
