Ok, I must admit this is not standard according to the comments in the html4
transitional DTD but at least khtml and MSIE do support them.

Ex: <td bgcolor="#fff"> => makes a black cell instead of white.

DTD says value of bgcolor must be one of 16 named colors or a #RRGGBB hexa
value. Still some people do write #RGB color as CSS permits.

Not a big deal.

Reproducible: Always

This is very rarely used invalid markup; not worth creating a quirk for.  Note
that IE allows rgb(...) values in this attribute too, and so forth, which is
pretty clearly bogus.
