[css-tables-3] Can we simplify empty-cells:hide? (original) (raw)

@FremyCompany

Description

  1. The definition of an empty cell is not trivial. Could we simplify to just matching :empy like Chrome seems to be doing?
  2. The spec mentions that rows that have only empty cells should collapse. I don't see this behavior implemented anywhere. I went ahead and dropped it from the spec. Should we resolve on this and update CSS 2 to match?
  3. If we decide to do both 1 and 2, can we just say that when empty-cells:hide applies, cells matching :empty are displayed like if they had visibility:hidden applied to them?
