That came out garbled; let me rephrase it: it's likely the case that the only type of block-level box that is not a block box is an anonymous block-level table-wrapper box. The latter term refers to the anonymous block-level box that wraps the table-caption box and the table box. I use it to avoid confusion with a table box (the one that holds the rows and columns but not the caption) that is generated anonymously as needed when an element with display:table is missing.
