(Whiteboard: DUPEME)

Background-image when applied to a <table> or a <tr>, is inherited, and applied
as the background for table cells.

This is contary to: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#background-image

I've often argued that this is a bug.  Others argue it isn't.  ->HTMLTables,
although it may be a duplicate of a bug with a bugID around 1/100 its size.

This is an issue in quirks mode only.  In standards mode we don't have this
broken behavior.
Whiteboard: DUPEME
this behaviour is a quirk, which makes us compatible to IE. And we should be
somehow compatible to "stoneage" browsers :-). The inheritance has been reduced
to th td and tr while fixing bug 46268.

"this behaviour is a quirk, which makes us compatible to IE"

Er, not sure if you've checked, but IE behaves per standard, with a table 
background being applied to a table and not reapplied to each cell (so graphics 
are drawn relative to the table origin.

I'd argue that this should be fixed for "quirks" mode, to be inline with the 
rest of the browser communtiy, so I've reopened accordingly.

Reduplicating.  All these arguments should be happening in bug 4510, which
covers this exact issue, among others.  Please read that bug before commenting
there further.
