about tables: if i know well, colwidth attribute has measure only like
inch or cm and not %. IMHO 2cm has no semantic meaning. The width of
column depends on font and paper size or window width in html.
If you want presentation independent structure,
i think it shound be fixed. Maybe better be using some attrib to set
the column width. (something like that:
colfit="fit-to-text|avaible-space")
(sorry if it has already discussed)
