But doing some pretty simple calculations based on data type is easy. For example, if you know a field is a date and you want to display the full date and time string, you know how wide that needs to be. Or if a field is a phone number, etc. Unknown strings present problems, but maybe just some simple stuff would be better than nothing at all?
