Table column with width indications

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

is it possible to add the width attribute to the list of exceptions, when used 
within a <col> element? Example: <col width="29%" />. epubcheck gives an error, 
when indicating it this way.

There is no real other practicable way of indicating the width.

Not Working: Adding a style attribute (<col style="width:29%;" />) or putting 
the width into the CSS and adding a class to the <col> element.

The only other way getting it done is putting the width into the CSS and 
applying the class to every <td>-element. But someone who did already this job, 
knows that this is painful and extremely time consuming.

Thanks, 
Yves

I know this is not exactly what you are asking for.
I added this to the CSS and it then seemed get me in the right direction.
table-layout:fixed;
width: 250px;
