Thanks Alexey. I got some info as to when this code was added by using svn blame.

However, I finally found that it is the problem with the test case. To make a table display inline, "display:inline" is not enough, we have to specify "display:inline-table" (enum INLINE_TABLE in the code). Please refer to 
http://www.webkit.org/blog/115/webcore-rendering-ii-blocks-and-inlines/ as well
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_display.asp

When DOCTYPE is not mentioned i.e. in Quirk mode, the code applies lesser strictness, therefore allow "display:inline" to be displayed as inline table. But when we mention DOCTYPE, applying of style becomes more strict & it displays an inline table if & only if we mention "display:inline-table".

I have verified by making the following changes in the test case & now the table is rendered inline in Winlauncher & Safari.

<table style="display:inline-table">

Therefore, it is a test case issue, no problem with the code.

Can I change the status of the bug & How?
