It certainly can, but whether it will do what you want is another matter. HTML UAs are allowed to ignore the display property[1], and are not required to apply the full CSS table model[2]; but assuming you don't change the value of the display property on any other HTML table elements, what I _think_ will happen in a UA that chooses to apply the CSS rules is this:- 1. The colgroup elements will generate anonymous table cell elements around themselves. 2. These will in turn generate a single anonymous table row. That is, you end up with an extra table row, which probably won't be enormously interesting, since colgroup can contain only col, which is empty.
