Details
Setting a <table> tag's height property using css (height: 100%;) does not
effect the tables height, even if body, html { height: 100%; } is defined.
testcase:
http://test.invisiband.net/ver2/table_test.html
I have also noticed that css height/width properties do not seem to be supported
on many tags, such as <a>, etc.... perhaps this is not a part of the css spec?

Even the style "text-align: center" in the body tag does not center the table
in the body. I think this should be filed as a seperate bug as this bug deals
with style { height: 100%; } in the body tag. Marking confirmed.

I think this is a style system problem and not tables since this deals with
style in <body> tag.
Component: HTMLTables → Style System

Yes, I actually did file the centering bug seperately, in:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119411
It was marked as a dupe of 49274, which does not address centering via the BODY
tag.
Am I also incorrect in thinking that <center>/align="center" should NOT work if
a page is using strict.dtd?

While fuddling about with this, I have found that if you set
body {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
table {
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
your table will then nicely fill the screen. This works very nicely for
horizontally and vertically centred content (and also seems to work for IE,
which is nice).
I still would like to see the bug fixed -- absolute positioning shouldn't be
required to make this work...

text-align does not apply to block elements. That's not how you center block
elements.
