<table background="foo.jpg"> renders foo.jpg independently as multiple 
backgrounds for all cells in the table. The CSS-1 property background-image 
also produces this effect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://justdd.metropoli2000.com
2. Look at the ListBot registration area: the background is repeated for each 
cell of the table layout.
3. Load the page in IE4+ for comparison.

Actual Results:  Each cell (<td>) of the table has a background inherited from 
the <table> tag (I guess they shouldn't...)

Expected Results:  Render a single background for the whole table.

Attaching testcase...
By the way, the formatting in the test case is there just for ease at spotting
the effect (both in the <table> tag and the mini-stylesheet).
This is intentional (wrong) behaviour for backwards compatibility.
If you want correct behaviour, use a strict DTD instead of the transitional one,
e.g.:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"
