This bug (Bug 240096) is about an unimplemented HTML attribute.

Bug 915 from a quick scan is about CSS properties. Isn't it a bit of a stretch
to say that they are the same bug.

read the bug.  The col element's align attribute is essentially incompatible
with CSS.

Look brainbox, this is standard HTML. It works in Internet Explorer 5, 5.5 and
6. (look I said it). To hell with your CSS specification, stop deleting my bugs.
