Just occurred to me that it may help if I explain what I am doing as I have no intention to meddle with what Andreas is doing or the core table layout code.
It all has still to do with the percentage stuff. Percentages on padding values are not even configured (that is being recognized by the property parser) in the current trunk version. So I fixed that and then started to construct test cases for padding with relative values (= percentages). Actually the coverage is very similar to the background images with relative positioning: region, block-container, block, tables, lists, inline, character, page-number - which btw most of those I got working now. This is how I came across the issue with the padding in tables with the collapsing border model and I only fixed (locally) it so I can keep going with this percentage stuff.
