you could <ol> starting from 1 (but with blank contents) until you get
to the ones you want to render, then use css to hide all the blank
ones. that avoids needing to figure out how to get a table to render

how about rendering a table _only_ if ex:thumbnailcolumns is set, and
otherwise using the current float:left? the downside of a table is that
it is hard to pick a column count that'll work in all browser sizes.
another option: how about letting someone specify a itemSize, and
wrapping each rendering item in a one-cell table of exactly that size,
which will then look nice in float-left mode?
or, if you want to get _really_ fancy, how about computing the number of
columns that'll fit in the current window, and modifying the column
count as needed if the page gets resized?
