155514 - CSS caption-side property should apply to caption element, not table

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Gérard Talbot]

The css declaration
table { caption-side:bottom; }
will be accepted by Moz1.1a build 20020611.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#propdef-caption-side claims that
caption-side property should only apply to elements set with display:table-caption.

Attachment: A table with the declaration table { caption-side:bottom; }

Self explanatory test case

It also says that the property is inherited by default.  That means the caption
will inherit the value from the parent table.
