Dear CSS WG,
I came across some issues when checking the CSS 2.1 Tables section:
* Typo in 17.5.1 [1]: "but this this extension [...]";
* In 17.6.1 [2], the example is "table { empty-cells: show }", but since
there is no "display: table-cell" and "empty-cells" only applies to table
cell elements, this seems confusing. Wouldn't it be less irritating to use a
"td" (HTML) or "foo" (XML) element selector?
* IMO, 17.6.2's "Border conflict resolution" [3] uses at least questionable
class names, namely ("solid-blue" and "solid-green"). Interestingly,
"solid-blue" even seems to mean "dashed-blue", but the real problem is of
course the non-commendable naming and the lack of semantics [4].
Any feedback concerning (the treatment of) these issues is appreciated
(since the WG usually keeps silent, so that nobody knows if even typos will
be fixed).
All the best,
Jens.
