about tables: if i know well, colwidth attribute has measure only like inch or cm and not %. IMHO 2cm has no semantic meaning. The width of column depends on font and paper size or window width in html. If you want presentation independent structure, i think it shound be fixed. Maybe better be using some attrib to set the column width. (something like that: colfit="fit-to-text|avaible-space") (sorry if it has already discussed) G.
