While we're talking underlying theory/structure:I suspect many tables in which one wants to conditionalize a column could be refactored so thatthe columns were instead rows, which are conditionable.
Thoughts?
Yes, theoretically, if you didn't have spanned cells, you could hide/show the cells
The problem is that if you have a LOT of rows, it won't work.

I think it's basically for the same reason that you can't easily
comment out a table column in HTML. Unlike a table row, a column is
not a continuous set of elements. It's one set of elements for each
row in the table.
Implementing column-level conditions would thus be a much larger
challenge
Hi Lin...
I think it has to do with the ability to have spanned cells. But also I
don't think that you can conditionalize a cell object. You can
conditionalize the content within a cell, but you can't just remove
(hide) a cell in a table. You'd have a hole.
Yes, theoretically, if you didn't
