In fact, specifying a <colspec colnum="1"/> AFTER a <colspec colnum="2"/> is 
not allowed.

Excerpts from the CALS table specification:
---
<colspec>s can be numbered or unnumbered, and if numbered should be increasing 
in sequential order starting at 1. Unnumbered <colspec>s are interpreted as 
being numbered incrementally (one more than the previous column number), with 
the first <colspec> starting at 1. Any mismatch in <colspec> numbering, or a 
number of <colspec>s greater than cols, is an error.
---

Next version of XMLmind DITA Converter detects this case and reports it as an 
(non-fatal) error.
