Hi Michael,

AFAIK KHTML confirms to auto-table-layout, what we try to figure out is how to 
fix rendering on numerous site using tables.
They use terrible hacks and *custom* Netscape and MS IE *table modes*, and 
it's extremly diffuicult to emulate bugs of both MS IE and Netscape.

BTW:  You may want to reead discussion about Bug#44148

Boris Zbarsky is one of key Mozilla hackers, an he said in reply to my mail:

The page triggers Mozilla's quirks mode. There's lots of stuff that
 works _really_ oddly in quirks mode.... I avoid it all like the plague,
 so I have no useful comments....

So, to rephrase my answer to you: 
 "we try to fix stuff works _really_ oddly in quirks mode"
