I have built a simplified table that illustrates this at

Your page is invalid.
1. a <colgroup> cannot be nested in another <colgroup>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#edef-COLGROUP>
is not really clear.
The html5 draft can help:
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-tabular.html#the-colgroup>
2. you have a xml syntax in there: <colgroup />
<colgroup> is _not_ an empty element, it cannot use self closing syntax.
Thanks for that. There is a lot of information in both those links (I've
seen the W3C one before).
I went to the webaim.org website which has much simpler examples (but
then its not defining the spec).
My thinking was that my real aim is to make the data useful so just
making it valid or logical may not be my prime concern.
Kind Regards
