Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-tables-3] Need clarification on column widths for fixed width table (#4512)

> I guess I think of computing the number of columns in the table as part of the rendering tree construction rather than part of layout, so in my mind this doesn't make layout multi-pass. :-)

I just remembered the `table-layout: fixed`single-pass promise from long time ago, and wanted to live up to it in Chrome's new implementation. Unfortunatelly, there is no way for us to compute number of columns during rendering tree construction, those pesky rowspan/colspan attributes make it unfeasible.

`table-layout: fixed` is still faster, because we do not have to compute min/max sizes of all cells, we just have to traverse them.

Clarification accomplished, closing this issue.
