I'd say no, never. Each cell should contain exactly what's contained

that's because IE6 doesn't support attribute selectors. but you can

Some of my pages have multiple subjects with data in both

* I can integrate them with my CMS (Plone) -- I'll need to generate

* I don't have to litter the body with Javascript

Hey Everyone,
I think this is correct. What happens is that if you don't set a width,
it defaults to 'auto'. In that case you have a left margin, right
margin, and width all with 'auto' values. This forces the left margin
value to become 0 and the right margin value to be ignored. I think.

But so does this...
