In general, styles for tables and other block-level elements should be set using CSS classes, not with inline style attributes. This is because ~~the site-wide CSS is more carefully tested to ensure compatibility with a wide range of browsers;~~ it ~~also~~ creates a greater degree of professionalism by ensuring a consistent appearance between articles. Deviations from standard conventions are acceptable where they create a semantic distinction (for instance, the infoboxes and [[Template:The Simpsons|navigational templates]] relating to ''[[The Simpsons]]'' use a yellow color-scheme instead of the customary mauve, to tie in with the dominant color in the series) but should not be used gratuitously.
