No, it means that whether :nth-col() matches depends only on the markup and not on the corresponding layout. That is, it matches based on the column the cell is in semantically, not on the column it actually ends up in when displayed. > During the initial pass through the CSS engine, it doesn't > know what cells are in what column. Nor does it need to, to match :nth-col() or similar proposals. -Boris
