The spec says: "The 'vertical-align' property of each table cell determines its alignment within the row." What is not clear in the spec is how this alignment is obtained. From the diagram it appears that it is obtained adding/distributing where necessary extra top and bottom padding to the cells. This padding is necessary to make all cells to 'fill' the row. But I haven't found this explicitly mentioned. You seem instead to assume that the vertical alignment is obtained somewhat adding top and bottom margin to a block (anonymous) container wrapping the cell content. Or maybe something else? > Note that presentationwise you actually remove important functionality. I can't figure out what can be lost. The two ways of 'interpreting' things seem to me to give the same possibilities. But I'm probably missing something. An example would help. Bruno -- Bruno Fassino http://www.brunildo.org/test
