Reported by Simon Sapin

17.5.2.1 (Fixed table layout) says:

  # In this manner, the user agent can begin to lay out the table once
  # the entire first row has been received.

This would seem to be false in the case that table-column elements are encountered after the first row has been received.  So are such elements to be ignored?
