There are 2 ways forward, and probably in this order:

A) consider whether the Google Apps Script API would help for your scenario
http://code.google.com/googleapps/appsscript/class_sheet.html#hideColumn
(if so, continue discussion on the relevant forum -
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/apps-script?hl=en).  Scripts execute
on the server-side in response to edit or open events in the sheet itself or
prods from an HTTP client -
http://code.google.com/googleapps/appsscript/guide_user_interfaces.html#RunDecision


B) put together a proposal about it, submit a feature request and get people
to vote for it ...
http://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/entry?labels=Type-Enhancement,Priority-Medium,API-Spreadsheets


A good proposal for option B would be interesting.  Think 'spreadsheet
declaration language' and you'll be on the right track ... (and then
downgrade/shoehorn this to an ATOM representation).  It should probably
solve more than just column-hiding, but address a variety of non-cell
attributes of a spreadsheet - named ranges, column widths, frozen rows, etc.


good luck,
David.
