The page contains TABLEs inside P elements. IE, in whatever mode is triggered by
this DOCTYPE, allows this, and applies the styles assigned to P (in this case -
a small font) to the table and the text inside it, resulting in a smaller table.
Mozilla (as well as IE, if you remove the DOCTYPE), implicitly closes the P
element before the table begins (as is dictated by the standard), and therefore
does not apply the style assosiated with the P to the TABLE and its content.

Probably INVALID.

Attachment: testcase

Testcase - quite different from the original page, but demonstrates the
"problem". IE uses the style set for the P element (color:red) for the text
contained inside a TABLE which is inside the P. Mozilla (correctly) doesn't.

Indeed.  See bug 91927.  The page is in standards mode.
