Well, the <COL> group makes a lot of sense to tabular data presentation anyway.
And it seems that it doesn't make any sense without it being fully implemented.

But guys, read the previous (very old) comments. It seems there's been a number of unsuccessful fix attempts in the past.
The HTML 4.01 and the CSS2 are conflicting (shame on the standardisation board) and the developers of all opensource brosers decided to go the same way: CSS2 everywhere. There's no will at all to implement the <COL> stuff as per the standard.
