Summary: Add class to <col> in <colgroup>

Initial Comment:
Hello,

the XSL stylesheets which translates to HTML createfor a table already the colgroups:

<table border="1">
<colgroup>
<col align="left"/>
<col align="left"/>
</colgroup>

Would it be possible to add here a class so that I can customizing the table columns by css styles?

Desired output:

<table border="1">
<colgroup>
<col class="col1" align="left"/>
<col class="col2" align="left"/>
</colgroup>

I didn't find a way to do it currently. I checked the available parameters: (http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/).

Best regards, Lars

Thanks. Colname would be also ok, I just need to have a reference for my
style sheet.

I think it would be better to use colname rather than numbers.  That way
you could style only those columns to which you assign the colname, rather
than all columns by position.  So if a colspec has a colname, it becomes a
class attribute on the col element.
