build 98112420, "Nov_24" on winnt 4.0

There is a cell in a nested table whose only contents consist of one gif
sell_text2.gif that is drawn with 10-15 pixels of padding above and below.
In communicator 4.x, this is not a problem. For reference, the image is a
light tan bulleted list of 5 free things. It is only one week deep into
home.netscape.com, so it's pretty visible to anyone who stops by
("try your hand at $25,000")

Summary: ss: netcenter promo page layout is incorrect → netcenter promo page layout is incorrect
In what way is this a showstopper?  It's a simple layout bug, not a crash or
data loss or hang.  We're not done yet, so there are going to be some layout
glitches. I've removed the "ss:" designation from the summary.
cc'ing Rick so he can override this decision if need be.

I think this is because of incorrect handling of <br> inside a cell.  I think
a <br> at the end of the cell content should be ignored, but it is not.  See
this simplified test case below.  If you remove the <br>'s just in front of the
</td>'s, the page lays out correctly.
