| "cellspacing" is standards compliant for HTML 4.01 strict:
| http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.1
| http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#adef-cellspacing
|
| The :hover bit is another matter - and IE blows it pretty big there.

Supposedly :hover works with <A> elements. Maybe we can play with <A>
elements with classes that select for :hover and get the effect> I'm not
doing the playing because I don't have IE handy right now.
