[wp-testers] Table troubles in html editor

Something I've taken great advantage of in wp 1.5 is the ability to 
write general html where I need to, especially tables. In 1.5 create a 
page or post with

<table style='border-style: solid; border-width: 2px;' >
 <tr>
  <td width="90" style='background: gray; border-width: 1px'>
asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf
  </td>
  <td width="90" style='background: gray; border-width: 1px'>
  </td>
  <td width="90" style='background: gray; border-width: 1px'>
  </td>
  <td width="90" style='background: gray; border-width: 1px'>
asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

and I get just what you'd expect: http://morison.org/~rod/blog/?page_id=10

Try pasting this markup into the 2.0 html editor and saving, and 
everything looks ok: http://morison.org/blogs/rod/table-test2/

But, try editing this page with the 2.0 html editor and saving again, 
and the markup is tweaked: http://morison.org/blogs/rod/table-test2-bad/

WYSIWYG is not WIW (What I Want).
