a few more notes:
* Gecko browsers support some styling on <col>: the width property is
supported (both % and px defined)
* IE 5 Mac and Webkit based browsers (Omniweb4.5, Safari) also supports
some styling on <col>: background, width.
Those also support child and sibling selectors, and :first-child (+
::last-child for Webkit). But Webkit has a problem with % defined width.
