The Relationship Between display,
position, and float
The three properties display,
float, and position interact in
certain ways.
If an element’s display property is set to
none, no box is generated. In this case,
float and position are ignored.
If an element’s position property is set to
absolute or fixed, it’s
absolutely positioned. In this case, float is ignored
(the computed value is none).
For absolutely positioned elements, floated elements (elements whose
float property is set to left or
right), and the root element, the computed value for
display is set according to Table 1.
Otherwise, the computed value for display is the
same as the specified value.

The value "inline-table" should have no comma after it.
