I'd assumed that meant it was specified somewhere else :)

Yes, since I'm particularly interested in how these things are applied
to elements which aren't tables. Like for instance in a setup like this:
body:table
div:table-row
div:table-row
div:table-cell
div:table-cell
div:table-cell
div:table-row
Why do the first and last div become the width of the first child div of
the second div? It happens consistently across Firefox, Opera and
Chrome so I assume there is some agreement of how it should work, but
why are the three table-row divs not all the same width?

PS. Apologies for veering off the topic of the thread here - is there a
css3-tables spec? I see there's a "CSS Tables Module" with no actual
document on the current work page, and there's a css3-tables-algorithm
in CVS, but that doesn't seem to be very far along.
