Description
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#align-descendants defines a concept of aligning descendants that is an effect of the align attribute on blocks, in addition to its effect on the CSS text-align property (which applies to lines).
This effect on descendants should be reset by tables. In other words, if a table doesn't have an align attribute that causes an "align descendants" behavior, the table should cause an "align descendants" to the inline-start side, rather than letting an "align descendants" from an ancestor apply to its descendants.
This behavior is interoperable between browsers. See the testcases in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196292
