Yup, that's exactly what I observed, but I can't find documentation
that says that. Every page I can find about almost standards mode
talks about table cells. Even Mozilla's page says it's only for images
in table cells.

"""
"Almost standards" rendering mode is exactly the same as "standards"
mode in all details save one: the layout of images inside table cells
is handled as they are in Gecko's "quirks" mode
"""

http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/

"""
which implements the vertical sizing of table cells traditionally and
not rigorously according to the CSS2 specification
"""

The word "exactly" in Mozilla's documentation makes this even more confusing.
