CSS body font-weight not inherited by table

Hi there,

Actually, see sid vishus's earlier question. I tried to answer it but got
stuck myself so hopefully someone can help us both out.

I notice that an un-named table with no styling of it's own will inherit
many things from a body styling in CSS, such as colour and font-family, but
it does not inherit the font-weight from the body styling. Why is that?

It should. In older browsers, tables would usually break the inheritance. IE
may still be broken for all I know.

The easiest fix is to just pair up the style:

body, td {font-weight: whatever}

sorry, i meant to say font-size, not font-weight
