What are the CSS1 properties that describe the typical rendering of a table?
When padding is applied to a table, should it apply only within the margin or
border of the outside edge of the block, or should it apply within each
subdivision of the block? What are the CSS1 equivalents of CELLSPACING and
CELLPADDING?

Is it not possible to define general block-subdivision properties that can
describe both tables and multi-column text-flow elements?

Have there been any proposals?
