Extend CSS rules accepted for display:table-column

[SetTrend]

Current Situation

It's not possible to apply simple CSS rules, like white-space: nowrap; or font-style: italic; to a display: table-column element, i.e., a HTML table column.

Desired Situation

display: table-column elements should be able to accept simple styling rules and map them to their corresponding display: table-cell child elements as if they were applied to these.

There's a good bit of discussion of related issues in Mozilla bug 915, which I think probably has links to a bunch of other discussions (if you're willing to read the whole thing to find them).

Thank for for the hint!

Hmm … So, would you suggest to keep this issue open? I couldn't find a related one yet.
