The table constructed by {{#babel:}} uses the attributes cellspacing and cellpadding, which are no longer valid in HTML5 (see URL). Use (inline, in this case) CSS instead.

Reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/339923/how-to-set-cellpadding-cellspacing-in-css I wonder if it's right now a good idea to drop IE6 and IE7 support.

I wonder if it's right now a good idea to drop IE6 and IE7 support.
Would you be able to create a screenshot of what IE6/7 would look like if inline CSS were used? Some visual degradation would be acceptable.
Yes, I could do it for IE6. I haven't an IE7 install.
I offer to use border-spacing / padding attributes, like in Gerrit change #21567.
This change would also require config change, to have a px (or em) declaration.
The config change is not desirable (ie acceptable). Based On the current docs of mw:Extension:Babel, things should be backward compat wrt on-wiki configuration.
Backwards compatibility could be reached checking if the parameter is an integer, and if so, adding 'px' in CSS declaration.
I updated the code, so config change won't be needed.
It will read babel-cellpadding, babel-cellspacing, babel-box-cellpadding. babel-box-cellspacing as pixels values by default.
So a current setting like "8" for babel-cellpadding will become "8px".
Of course, if a user sets "1em" or "0", it will keep the values as is.
