When applying such a stylesheet:

table {
	margin-top: 2em;
	margin-bottom: 2em;
}

If a table has a caption, Mozilla puts a 2em-space between the caption and the
body of the table.

However, the space is not collapsed even when applying a negative value to the
margin-bottom of the caption, so perplexed when writing a page that includes
tables with captions and ones with no captions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
A caption is always contained within table borders, or make it possible to apply
negative values to the table-body-side margin of the caption element.

(IE and Opera seem to consider a caption is always within table borders, so it
does not have margins)
