test case

well, the testcase has transitional doctype. 

if you want standard compliant rendering, set strict doctype. 

which browser supports the td font-size hack?

In Firefox 0.8 and IE6 then Strict and Transitional doctypes produce standards
compliant output, while a page with no doctype doesn't, as expected.

In KDE 3.2, Strict is standards compliant, while Transitional and doctypeless
documents look wrong for this test case.

Oh, and forget about the font-size hack - I'm not sure what browsers it used to
work in, and it isn't important. I was getting confused!
