Hello Ben,

div, #two, table { position: relative }
<td id="two">World <span>foo</span></td>

"The effect of 'position:relative' on table-row-group, table-header-
group, table-footer-group, table-row, table-column-group, table-
column, table-cell, and table-caption elements is undefined."
CSS 2.1, 9.3.1 Choosing a positioning scheme: 'position' property

Positioning sub-table elements is formally and specifically
discouraged in CSS 2.x specifications.

Regards, Gérard
