  Hum, I would not bash them on formatting issue, basically they
had to reverse engineer NS3 rendering at some point to get market
acceptance, I would be more tempted to bash people using tables for
formatting and expecting pixel accuracy using those ;-)

  So one possible heuristic, would be to not add formatting spaces
in content when there is a table parent. Would this fix the problem
raised initially ? Michael is this the problem you encountered ?
