Thanks Ken. It really helps. Just one more question. According to the spec, should "space-after" on the block in my example be discarded as well?
Thanks,
Cindy

Note that a table cell generates a reference area and the default for space
before and after at the beginning and end of a reference area is to discard
the space.

But it is being discarded as required in the spec.

That seems strange ... I would not have expected that.

You are missing: space-before.conditionality="retain"
By adding this property's compound value setting, the processor will not
discard the associated space-before. I added it to your example, as well
as space-after.conditionality="retain", and the text ended up centred in
the bordered table.
I hope this helps.
