Expected result from the following html code would be first columnt left aligned
and the following 3 columns to be right aligned. Please note that the bug is not
limited to the "align" attribute; using "style" or "class" results in
unpredictable and incomplete rendering. For example background-color works,
while text-align does not. Interestingly this is also a bug in OPERA!

<html>
	<head>
	<title>test</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<table border="1" width="100%">
			<colgroup span="1" align="left"></colgroup>
			<colgroup span="3" align="right"></colgroup>
			<tr>
				<td>1</td>
				<td>2</td>
				<td>3</td>
				<td>4</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load the attached html in the browser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The align attribute is ignored. Some CSS attributes are ignored.

Expected Results:  
The align attribute should force the columnts over which the span is applied to
be aligned accordingly to the colgroup attributes, class or style.
