The following table show how nested tables inherit colors from the wikitable class (here it was renamed "global").
Global table
| TH: should have pink bg |
| TD: white bg |
Nested table
| Nested TH: transparent |
Nested TD: transparent |
|
With child selector we could limit the wikitable styling to the direct childs of the table. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 6.0 does not support child selector. See our bug #33752.
Global table
| TH: should have pink bg |
| TD: white bg |
Nested table
| Nested TH: transparent |
Nested TD: transparent |

NOTE:The nested caption keep the green background. The nested table keep the black border. This is because those declarations are global so we did not reset them.
