Description Anton P 2012-05-21 11:57:41 UTC 
Reported by Anton Prowse

The term "cell spacing" is used in 17.5.2.1 (Fixed table layout), 17.5.2.2 (Automatic table layout) and 17.5.3 (Table height algorithms).  It seems very likely that this refers to the spacing determined by the 'border-spacing' property, in which case the spec ought to be more consistent since 17.6.1 (The separated borders model) and 17.6.1.1 both use the term "border spacing" instead.
