possible bug in ie-xforms.css or repeat layout

Hello All,

I think I have discovered a problem with the way repeat elements are 
rendered in combination with the ie-xforms.css.  It is a bit obnoxious 
to see, so if my explanation is lengthy just check out the attached form 
and see for yourself.
When a repeat element is rendered, it is surrounded by a table element.  
This is fine, until there is a constraint or a required attribute on a 
member of the repeat.  When the alert message should be displayed on a 
member of a repeat, that alert message gets a class="invalid" attached 
to it, which should make it visible and red.  However, because the 
surrounding repeat element, which creates an HTML table, has a 
class="valid", this cascades down and overrides the display property, 
setting it to "none" and causing the alert to be hidden from view. 

It is hard to see in IE, since I don't know of a way to look at the DOM 
from within IE.  However, using chiba-0.9.7 and the Firefox 
DOMInspector, I edit the attached form with the css forced to be the 
ie-xforms.css, and attempt to get the alert to show and it fails.  Using 
the DOMInspector, I then look a the CSS Style rules, and it has both an 
invalid class, and a valid class affecting it.  However, from the HTML 
source, there is only a class="invalid" on the alert element itself, 
although the surrounding repeat element's table has a class="valid". 

I have also verified that nothing significant has changed in 
ie-xforms.css, html4.xsl, or html-form-controls.xsl since version 0.9.7, 
so I think it should be reproducable as long as you force the css to be 
ie-xforms.css in later versions of chiba.  Anyone have any ideas how to 
get this alert to show when appropriate?  Thanks,
Zach Roberts
