Every browser including all the Netscape releases align the table on my page
correctly....but for some reason M6 does it incorrectly.  The url is
http://natas.kfa.cx/~civ Anyway I'm really excited about the Mozilla
project....I wanna stop doing killall -9 netscape :) You guys are doing a great
job with Mozilla....keep up the good work!

The principle problem on this page is that a stray <body> element "breaks" the
table. (That is, it "breaks" if another <table> follows the <body> inside the
<td>; otherwise, the content following <body> is ejected from the <td>).

i.e.,
  <TD> [2,1]
    <BODY>
    some text
    <TABLE BORDER><TR><TD> some other content </TD></TR></TABLE>
  </TD>

There are some remaining problems beyond this one, but most are covered in
other bug reports (e.g., residual style, a CSS2/Nav4 line spacing issue).

Mystery Fix.

The reported URL and the testcase no longer exhibit '<body> inside <td>
breaks <table>'.

Problems that remain are (1) more 'residual style' type font bugs (bug #991),
and (2) table TD background images do not show up when TD are empty
but that is in fact according to spec (see bug# 8113).

Marking WORKSFORME using jun17 and jun23 win95 viewer (opt).

(karnaze | harishd)  --- there is a testcase here that did break the table
on a parsing problem; perhaps it's useful for regression tests.
