As far as I understand the spec, table-column elements with a column-width property are mandatory for tables with fixed table layout. >From the spec: 7.26.9.: The "column-width" property must be specified for every column, unless the automatic table layout is used. To me, this means not only that column-width is mandatory in fixed-layout *if* table-column elements exist, but also that a table-column needs to exist for each column. Since they don't talk about a derived trait, but of a column-width property that also isn't inherited, I can only conclude that "must be specified for every column" means: 1. In fixed-layout, there MUST be a table-column element for each column. AND 2. In fixed-layout, the column-width property must be set in all table-column elements.
