You are calling one result correct and others incorrect. What is your authority for that?

The fact that some container doesn't have some attribute supplied does not mean that the attribute is zero. Browser makers determine a set of default attributes that THEY think is suitable, even if another browser manufacturer thinks differently. Simply compare paragraph spacing in Firefox and IE to see what I mean.

One of the things you can do with table cells is specify the vertical and horizontal alignments. The defaults may not be what you want. Another thing you can do is specify heights.

It isn't at all clear what you expect, since you think Firefox is "right" by taking more room to display "lorem ipsum" than it is for "Suspendisse vitae".
