tags TC and VR needed

I havent been following discussions, but there must be a simple 
answer in XHTML for the presentation of wide tables. 
Is it so unusual to write text in columns like newspapers?

I would like for tables to have a tag TC so that I can code
my cell data by columns. 

Just as I can set TABLE WIDTH=100% to fill a screen horizontally,
I would use TABLE HEIGHT=100% to fill the screen vertically.

Of course, we should also have a VR tag (vertical rule) which draws a
vertical line throught the enclosing area.

A lot of columns require me of course to scroll horizontally,
and the PageRight and PageLeft keys could be useful, 
but let's not worry about that ...
