Those properties are no more so "column itself" than positioning could be. They are still applied to the TD, not some tall rectangle sitting behind it spanning all the rows. And if you can select all the cells in a row and style them, I don't see why you shouldn't be also able to select all the cells in a column and style them. Conceptually it is the same, and technically it doesn't sound all that more difficult.
