create as an attachment and mark keyword: testcase
somehow I'm not able to create a new attachment from my Linux-machine "No file
was provided, or it was empty." :-(
Put it on my webspace, maybe someone else could do that...
here it is:

sorry... Markus
I guess this bug is invalid, table width is %Length and  not Multilength. Only
col and colgroups should accept "2*" widths. Please look to the HTML4.01 spec.
We will even remove from the content parser the ability to look for * arguments.
Yes, you're right, got a little confused with the spec. 
I agree to resolve it as invalid. 
remove testcase from my webspace.
btw: This was one of the things, N4.7 displayed without any problems

My NN4.7 does not render this correctly, could you attach a screenshot of the
rendering? I am seriously concerned as I am working on bug 97027. IMHO mozilla
already renders this better than NN4.7.

Bernd
I'm quite sorry, NN4.7 only renders the first pair of tables "correct", and only
if you're using floating-point values (why floating-points??? this should be
ints), e.g. 
<table width="0.2" align="left">
...
</table>
<table width="0.8" align="right">
...
</table>

The second pair of tables looks quite ugly in NN4.7. Sorry because of the
confusion, I just played around yesterday night...
