In this case XXE does not conform to the CSS standard.

The XXE documentation says "You can style 99% of any type of XML
document using the subset of CSS2 supported by XXE. (The remaining 1%
is solved by the image() or the image-viewport() content objects.)".

The CSS spec says: "Document languages other than HTML may not contain
all the elements in the CSS2 table model. In these cases, the
"missing" elements must be assumed in order for the table model to
work. The missing elements generate anonymous objects (e.g., anonymous
boxes in visual table layout) according to the following rules..."

I think the fact that XXE does not conform to the CSS standard w.r.t
table layout should be more clearly documented.
