In terms of letting HTML validation produce useful results, telling
authors to use a bogus large number is worse than having a special
value (zero). If you use 0 and the table makes sense that way,
validator.nu is OK with the document, but if you use a bogus large
number, validator.nu, correctly, complains.

(So validator.nu is a piece of software in addition to Gecko and
Presto that supports this HTML feature.)
