Max, are you kidding me?! This what you will expect as a human :) But
practice is little bit different.
Try this in Mozilla or IE :)))))))
If you will put here %%
<table width="500">
<tr>
<td width="100" id="1"></td>
<td width="100%%" id="2"></td>
<td width="200" id="3"></td>
</tr>
</table>
You will get exactly yours "In this case cell 1 will span 100 pixels, and
cell 3 will span 200. Cell
2 will use up what is left."

Exactly!
