One quick response is that I know that Fx hasn't yet implemented
that statement; we implement the 'height' property as something that
specifies the height of the cell box, which is then aligned and
padded per https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/tables.html#height-layout .

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569645 covers fixing
this; I just haven't managed to make it a priority.
