ISSUE-33

default styles do not properly allow vertical-align to inherit on table elements

State:

CLOSED

Product:

CSS2.1

Raised by:

Description:

thead, tbody, tfoot { vertical-align: middle }
td, th              { vertical-align: inherit }

This doesn't make much sense without this missing rule:

tr                  { vertical-align: inherit }

Firefox, Safari specify the style for the 'tr' element

I recommend that we update the default styles to include the 'tr' rule.
