    Hi Dave,
    I'm not sure that special feature of colgroup is supported in the
    stylesheets. I had not heard of it.

    Can you clarify what your intentions are for minimizing column widths?
    Does minimum mean the width of the cell's content without line breaks, or
    do you want to force line breaks for longer entries to reduce the column
    width? When it says ...

    "this attribute allows the special form "0*" (zero asterisk) which means
    that the width of the each column in the group should be the minimum width
    necessary to hold the column's contents."

    ... I interpret this to mean the text width without forced line breaks.

    No line breaks. Balanced columns means I have wasted space and I want to
    float the table left to fit an image into the space on the right?
    Minimised to 'just' fit the text does that.
