Description Anton P 2012-01-15 23:08:48 UTC 
Reported by Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu

17.2.1 (Anonymous table objects) [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes] says:

  # consecutive
  #   Two sibling boxes are consecutive if they have no intervening
  #   siblings other than, optionally, an anonymous inline containing
  #   only white spaces. [...]

The term "consecutive" is only used in stages 2 and 3 of the process described in 17.2.1; does stage 1 (specifically, 1.3 and 1.4) remove any anonymous inlines containing only white spaces, meaning that the definition of "consecutive" need not give treatment to such boxes?
