I may have jumped into conclusions. When trying to describe the problem 
and its solution, I was unable to reproduce this bug. I suppose I found 
something real but in a special case I cannot find now.

I'm confused. Now that I test this, it seems that <td nowrap> does not 
work for a cell with a _fixed width_. Moreover, in that case, 
white-space: nowrap does not work either, when set on the cell element 
(td). But it works when set for, say, a <span> element inside the <td> 
element.
