Description

[Sam Steingold]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

the entries in the table (border="0", so it may not be obvious that these are
indeed tables) are vertically aligned "center" despite valign="top".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit http://www.podval.org/~sds/clisp/impnotes/socket.html#so-status
2.look for ":INPUT status:" in the text


Actual Results:  
":INPUT status:" is vertically aligned with 
":INPUT	some input is available"
(second row)

Expected Results:  
":INPUT status:" should be vertically aligned with
"NIL	reading will block"
(top row)


it appears that <col align="left" valign="top" />
is ignored.
