It seems that I am having success with a table defined like this:

Good ... I had a typo in my response to you and you are correctly using table-layout="auto" (the default).

<table> <table-body border-bottom="solid 1px #000"> <table-row> <table-cell><block>Label Cell:</block></table-cell> <table-cell><block padding-left=".05in">Value Cell</block></table-cell> </table-row </table-body> </table>
Is it correct to assume that the table width will derive from the
total width of content (until it reaches parent object boundary
width)?

No, because with "auto" the formatter has every right to make its own decisions about line breaks.

Or to be safe, should I conform with your option #1?

I've always used the wrappers just to be on the safe side.

Sorry, in the above I meant to say table-layout="auto" but was apparently thinking about the other values that are not appropriate when I actually was doing the typing.

I hope this helps.
