Each cell shows the upper left part of the table's background image when it 
should be transparent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Confirming.  The computed style for the cells shows the background...
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Windows 2000 → All
Hardware: PC → All
Summary: td are not transparent when the table has a background attribute → td are not transparent when the table has a background attribute (no tbody in XHTML)
Note that this only happens when the background is specified in HTML.
Also, the cells will similarly "inherit" the <body> background if one isn't
specified on the table.
html.css has:

174 /* make sure backgrounds are inherited in tables  -- see bug 4510*/
175 td, th, tr {
176   background: inherit;
177 }

This was added by bernd....  and this is why the lack of a "tbody" matters. 
bernd?  Fantasai?  Is this really the desired behavior?  Should this rule be a
quirk?
That rule was moved from quirk.css to html.css as a temporary fix for Moz1.0
(We disabled standards-mode table backgrounds for 1.0 because they were wrong.)
See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4510#c34

It will be changed back with 4510.
Depends on: 4510
The previous case is resolved with Mozilla ver.1.5.
However, there is still similar problem when the table element has a background
image.
