A negative CSS margin-top is not working when it is set on a TABLE element.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an HTML page with a table below another block element.
2. Set a negative margin-top to the table.
3. Save and access the page.

Actual Results:  The table is displayed below the other element as if there is
no margin-top set.

Expected Results:  The table should be moved up the amount of space the
margin-top indicates.

Works as expected in IE 6 and Opera 6.

I'm attaching a screen grab showing how the test case is rendered in the 
20020131 build, in quirks mode (the lime background) and in standard mode (white 
background). I also displayed it in IE6 and Opera6 for comparison.

set it to moz1.2
