Description Henri Sivonen 2010-06-21 08:05:42 UTC
Please mention that <col> elements must be wrapped in <colgroup>, because the HTML parsing algorithm implies a <colgroup> around <col> (like IE), so having a <col> without <colgroup> makes the document trees differ between HTML and XML.
Comment 1 Eliot Graff 2010-07-10 00:11:56 UTC
Added colgroup under "tables" in the list of required elements, section 6.1.1.

Thanks for this tidbit!
