From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

Mozilla 0.9.9 ignores CSS class in the col tag in tables; the appropriate style
is not applied to the given columns in the table.  The example (see reproduce
section) works correctly with MSIE 6.0 (g-d forbid) as specified in HTML 4.0 and
XHMTL 1.0/1.1.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML 4.0/XML 1.0/XML 1.1 document.

2. Add a CSS style:

<style type="text/css"> .teletype { color: limegreen; background-color: black; }
</style>

3. Add a table with a col tag applying the style:

<table> <col span="2" class="teletype" />
<thead> <tr> <th>I</th> <th>Am</th> <th>Sam</th> </tr> </thead>
<tbody> <tr> <td>Sam</td> <td>I</td> <td>Am</td> </tr> </tbody>
</table>

4. View the document.

Here is my sample:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sam I Am</title>

    <style type="text/css">
      .teletype { color: limegreen; background-color: black; }
    </style>

  </head>

  <body>
    <table> <col span="2" class="teletype" />
      <thead> <tr> <th>I</th> <th>Am</th> <th>Sam</th> </tr> </thead>
      <tbody> <tr> <td>Sam</td> <td>I</td> <td>Am</td> </tr> </tbody>
    </table>

  </body>
</html>


Actual Results:  Mozilla did not apply the style to the first two columns of the
table.

Expected Results:  The first two columns of the example table should be
limegreen on black, not the default colors.

MSIE 6.0 displays the table correctly.  *sigh*
"color" from <col> should not be applied to <td> per CSS2:

See the CSS2 spec, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#q4

Basically, the only styles applied to COL tags that can affect the way cells
look are border, background, width, and visibility.

The fact that we do not apply background is bug 4510.
