Description
Original author: eclecticgeek (March 17, 2012 02:07:35)
When a table is missing a structural element as outlined in CSS 2.1 it can cause problems during rendering. This is especially true of the element is not rendered normally because its display has been set to something other than the default for that element. See issue 438.
Full support for anonymous table objects would resolve the cited issue.
