Not necessarily for auto table layout, I'd say. Anyway, neither the CSS nor the FO spec tells us what algorithm to use to determine the column widths and how and if the widths have to be reevaluated for each page. > Given that proportional-column-width() and auto table-layout are mutually exclusive, distribution of > remaining space can occur if: > > a) table-layout="fixed", explicit columns with relative widths (some using p-c-w()) > b) table-layout="fixed", implicit columns with relative widths (from cells in the first row) > c) table-layout="auto" > > Take case a): > Suppose six defined columns, then in my original example, I'd expect the column-widths to have the > same proportions on every page, no matter if the page contains a cell that occupies a particular > column.

Strictly following the Rec, we should end up with a table of five columns, equally large in > proportion on all pages. What happens if I add a sixth cell to the last row?
