Nobody needs them? In my experience, this is the second most requested feature that CSS developers wish IE would support. (Support of CSS2 selectors, especially > and +, is the most requested.) Consistent implementation of display: table* would make easy the one thing that is otherwise very difficult in CSS: vertical centering of a block of contents of an unknown height. Most developers who need this feature currently just throw in an actual table and grit their teeth about screwing up the document structure. Personally, I'll celebrate at least a little bit when MS finally sees the light on this one. -- -Adam Kuehn
