Sample shows incorrect rendering of height attribute

Details 
Proportional widths don't work in tables when applied through style.  They work
when you use the "width" attribute on a <col>, but if you use a style rule that
applies to the <col> element, they don't work.

Here is a test case demonstrating the problem.  It looks like the width unit
ends up being auto when it should be proportional.

<html>
<style>
col.namecol {
  width: 75*;
}

col.urlcol {
  width: 25*;
</style>
<table>
  <col class="namecol">
  <col class="urlcol">
  <tr>
    <td>First Column
    <td>Second Column
</table>
</html>
This is important for the tree widget.  Since I intermingle fixed width and
proportional width columns, I can't just use percentages.

Note that this is not legal CSS. I understand your need and will propose an
extension to the CSS w/g. (The "*" is not likely to be the adopted syntax)
oh! That seems strange. I just assumed that since it worked in the attribute
that it would work for CSS.

Can you explain to me what I need to do if I wanted to support width and height
attributes on the tree that made the widths proportional?  What do I poke to
ensure that the unit is correct?

Presumably I do something in my SetAttribute function to alter the style
context?

Is this still resolved REMIND? If not, please remove resolution? If so, I will

for what is this? Never saw such a thing in CSS3 WDs or somewhere else...
If something like this is to be implemented, then it's certainly All/All.

There doesn't appear to be anything in
[http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-box-20010726/#the-width] that resembles this.

Only the first img is rendered proportionally, others appear to ignore CSS

img {
width:10%;
}

<a href=""><img src="atomickitten.jpg" class="long" /></a>

<a href=""><img src="alicia_keys.jpg"  /></a>

not sure that this is the same bug, but seems related
Comment 16 is unrelated to this bug.  The appropriate bug is bug 110358.

Sample shows incorrect rendering of height attribute

This testcase is unrelated to this bug, but the layout does seem incorrect.
So what is the next step for this testcase?

Shall I open a new bug for it?

This could be implemented like '-moz-<number>', but I don't think it is that
important anymore, as it was in comment 1 :-)

We've removed proportional widths -- the spec failed to explain how they were different from percentage widths.
