Assertion:
An author with an eagle eye pointed this one out:
The scenario - In Netscape 4.x, if you use a background image on a table,
any nested tables will inherit the same background image and not be transparent

a useful fix which does not appear to be at all harmful: specify an empty BACKGROUND
attribute (BACKGROUND="") in nested TABLE elements in this scenario.
Image used as the table background:
Plain table, table nested in cell 1, no background image:
