All agreed on the hard problem of auto-layout, but...

Just for the record:
I don't think 'optional table-columns' and 'automatic table-layout'
necessarily come down to the same thing. IIRC, the Rec. --as ultimately does
CSS[*]-- also allows the possibility of not using any columns, but
specifying fixed or percentage widths on the cells in the first table-row.
Even then, it is still permitted to set width="auto" on some of them, but
the balancing of the remaining space is based solely upon the first row.
