Trivial, but I'm reporting it anyway. This code:
<table width="100%" bgcolor=beige cellpadding=2>
<tr>
<td>
<font size="1"><p>Test</p></font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Produces a different-looking display than this:
<table width="100%" bgcolor=beige cellpadding=2>
<tr>
<td>
<p><font size="1">Test</font></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
(i.e. with the P and FONT tags nested differently)
I think the layout should be identical.  I found an example of this on our
school's website, so I figured I may as well report it.
Over to layout..

It looks like the <font> enclosing the paragraph is acting like a block-level
element, or something, as it seems to add extra line space.  This may be a
quirks mode thing to keep other pages from breaking, in which case I suppose it
would be wontfix...
