in layoutmgr.table.ColumnSetup an error message is thrown if there

gaps between columns. There is also some code in the TableFObj

Indeed not. You could number your columns 100, 200, 300...
IIRC, they don't even have to be defined in ascending order, and
neither do the table-cells.
So, if you'd like, you could define a three column table:
<fo:table ...>
<fo:table-column column-number="10" .../>
<fo:table-column column-number="5" .../>
<fo:table-column column-number="1" .../>
...
It just occurred to me that I wouldn't really know the 'expected'
result in this case... :-)
I don't believe --could be wrong-- that FOP currently makes any
attempt to re-order the columns, so column-number 10 will be rendered
as the first column?
