Is there a change in behaviour between FM 5, 6 and 7 EDD?

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I am NOT asking for a solution. NO help needed, only curious about the issue.

I am working with some [legacy]  documents from another company and I
have come across something weird in the EDD:

There is a table definition that sets the text formats like this:

Text format rules
  In all contexts.
    Basic properties
      Paragraph spacing
        Space below: -2.0 pt
      Line spacing
        Height: 3.0 pt
      Default font properties
        Size: 2.0 pt

This to me looks like what you would set as a *paragraph tag for
anchoring*, but this is actually a Table type element.

In the original, all text is formatted in the "normal" way as the rest
of the document, but this is only because of one of the peculiarities
of the legacy EDD, which is that for every text element there is a
TextFormatRules setting of ElementPgfFormatTag: Body, which is the
thing that overrides this in the table cells (and the annoying setting
that I have removed from most of the elements in my adaption of the
EDD).

So does anyone know whether there has been mad a change here in the
paragraph formatting of a TABLE element between FM 7 and older?
