Thanks Brad for the reference.

Actually, what I did find were mismatched table tags when I ran a lint 
on the output generated by IC, so I just need to find out whether I  
screwed up the tag alignment or if it was an original problem that I 
probably compounded.  Oldly enough, correcting one of the obvious 
misalignments allowed the table to appear but the CSS is still being 
ignored.

Yes, I would love to see 4.7 go, but 7.0 just recently made a debute and 
6.0 was terrible, so we haven't had time to schedule the upgrade...

What might be a great 'enhancement feature' is to have a built in IC 
Lint that could be enabled since bits and pieces of the total table 
construction are sprawled across numerous files, it might help catch 
this stuff earlier in the site development process...
