The only valid properties for table-column type elements <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-CSS21-20050613/tables.html#q4">17.3 Columns</a> are 'border', 'background', 'width', and 'visibility'. Additionally these elements should support 'color', and the various 'text', 'font' and 'align' properties. All of the supported properties already impact cell width. With this in mind the impact with rendering should be minimal. IE 6 already erroneously supports the color property for col elements. There are several bug reports against FireFox that have been rejected because the current standard does not support font and color properties. In each of the FireFox bug reports the bug authors are surprised to learn of this restriction. Given all of this it seems to me that most authors feel that these element types should support additional properties.
