Are you sure?  I have never seen it done before on the web.  (With the
normal <table> the html page specifies the beginning/end of each
column.)

Well, yes, it would not be good for looking at pictures or commercial
sites, as I said, but it would be very useful, I think, for reading
actual text (some hTml pages still contain text).  This functionality
should be the clients option, because the server isn't going to know
if the client's screen is 640x480 or 1800x1400, or if the client is
using lynx, or has bad eyesight, etc.

Ok, I understand.  I wasn't sure before which project could do this.
