In response to Ian Hixie's post in:

This is a total off-the-top-of-my-head idea but what about building in
a CSS accessor for the TD element's "header" property? That way as a
table cell is being evaluated, a property like:
td::header#myColumn { color: red }
...would take precedence over any definition for a TR element.
So you wouldn't be able to use the COL element, but a similar property
of header might work--the problem would be to work out which took
precedence if two headers applied. In other words, you could fake it.
I couldn't find any such thing in a quick scan of the specs, but
perhaps this will spark something in someone with deeper knowledge.
