Interesting.  None of Gecko, Presto, Webkit implement that, for either 
HTML tables or CSS ones.  What does IE do?  It sounds to me like that 
line needs to be removed from the spec, since it's completely 
disconnected from reality...

(Gotta love conformance requirements with no conformance tests in the
