If you put a valign in a col tag, it is ignored by Firefox (and is okay in IE). 
This is shown in the example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"				 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-Strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
  <colgroup>
    <col valign="top" />
    <col />
    <col />
  </colgroup>
  <tr>
    <td>I should be at the top - but I'm not</td>
    <td>I am always at the top<br /><br /><br /></td>
    <td>I am in the middle - default middle alignment</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

A workaround is to add a <tbody valign="top" /> after the colgroup definition.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the html as described in the details in the corresponding browser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
1st column appears at the same alignment as the last column (provided middle is
the default alignment)

Expected Results:  
1st column should be aligned with the middle column, placing the text at the top
of the cell. Confirmed as the behaviour of IE 6.0.2800.1106 (SP1).

According to the HTML 4.0 spec (also supported by the XHTML1.0 spec):

<!ELEMENT COL      - O EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST COL
  %attrs;
  span        NUMBER         1
  width       %MultiLength;  #IMPLIED
  %cellhalign;
  %cellvalign;>

where %cellvalign is:

<!ENTITY % cellvalign "valign     (top|middle|bottom|baseline) #IMPLIED">

Apologies.. Didn't search on the core component, only on firefox bugs.
