improve display of paradigm columns with long headers #950

From Arok:

Sometimes when the name of a paradigm column has a long header label, it creates some unsightly space in the paradigm table:

Can we find a way to improve this visual display? Some initial ideas:

Right now the <table> element contains two <tbody> elements. Maybe we could pull those into separate tables, so at least the spacing of the one <tbody> won't affect the other.
Force the columns to always be equal width. Is this possible in CSS without knowing that width in advance?

Probably, the table/subpane header should have a width independent of the column headings in the subpane. And as probably, this header width should be the width of the entire table.
