Border boxes or content? According to my reading of the spec: For 'top', 'bottom' and 'middle' the 'cell box' is used, which I assume is the cell's content box, before applying any padding. So indeed is the 'content' of the cell which is aligned, provided that the 'height' cell property is ignore here. Then to 'fix' the alignment in its place, extra padding on the cell is used. > I don't think that 'padding' added to cells has something to do with alignment.
