Amongst other things, IE6 and 7 do not understand the CSS property "border-spacing", which would be the easy way to replace cellspacing. Considering that IE8 reverts to compatibility mode on Wikimedia sites, that's a market share of 50% or so :/ Anyway, removing table-related attributes doesn't offer much advantage in itself. There will be a few validator warnings about it, so what? Getting rid of table layouts would be nice, but IE6/7 do not understand display:table either, so until IE 6 and 7 die and 8 stops trying to be backwards-compatible, they are here to stay, I'm afraid. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
