Hmm. I, too, would expect that rule to work as intended. It sure looks specific enough - unless you have a rule that includes an ID in the chain to TD? Do you have a sample page we could look at? FWIW - I have a "basic styles" CSS I start out with based off the subject reset. I put EM sized padding on a simple TD selector that seems to work just fine.
