    Well, it certainly clears my problem by narrowing and it to an exact 
    question. So, to clarify:
    
    a) according XML 1.0 <colgroup /> is valid (may be used)
    
    b) according to XHTML 1.0 <colgroup /> is not valid (must not be used)
    
    and the question: which recommendation rules for a xhtml 1 Transitional 
    document?
