The amounts of duplicates in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22274 seems to keep growing. Now with bugs about SVG inside table cells instead of spacer gifs. Maybe it is time to reconsider and specify the behavior of "almost standards mode" (which Internet Explorer exhibits in "standards mode" as I understand it) in CSS 2.1 thereby effectively obsoleting the need for "almost standards mode". http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Images%2C_Tables%2C_and_Mysterious_Gaps is the old article on this subject (though it was previously located on developer.netscape.com). To potential ways we can solve this: * Introduce a CSS new property to toggle between the different behaviours defaulting to the "almost standards mode" one for HTML table elements. * Change the CSS model to behave like "almost standards mode" does now. And maybe going forward introduce a new property to get the behavior described now if that's desirable. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
