screenshot of the URL with Mozilla & Netscape 4.7 side-by-side
If you take a look at the URL given, you'll see that there is a blank space
between, for example, 'Van' and 'Naar'.
If you check the HTML (use the DOM-Inspector! :), there is a "height=6"
attribute in the <img> that "decides" how high the table-row should be. However,
the table-row is rendered 19px high (counted that by hand).
In the DOM-Inspector, the <img> is between <P></P> tags. This is not so in the
source. Could that be a lead to the problem?
I'll attach two screenshots, one from Mozilla, and one from Netscape 4.7.
You'll notice the difference immediately.

Page has the doctype:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//3.2//EN">
Which is not a valid doctype.... It should be
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
So it renders in standards mode, with all the ensuing chaos.
(space, not //). Should this be evangelism, or should we add this to the list?

This example does pass the validator, and illustrates the extra whitespace
before and after the paragraph, when it appears within a table cell.

The testcase is, again, in standards mode. The whitespace is correctly present
in standards mode.

Was that testcase based on a real page that had that doctype declaration?

Marking wontfix, since there's no evidence that there were every any other pages
using this FPI.e
