The proportional-column-width(1) has the same meaning as the 1* in the CALS
table model. Basically, the proportional-column-width function just sets up
ratios among column widths that the formatter has to maintain. Any table
that has any columns with proportional-column-width will fill the width of
the table adjust the size of the proportional columsn such that the
proportions will be respected. For example, if we have a 6.5" wide table
with the following columns:
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="1in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(3)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width=".5in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="1in"/>
the formatter should subtract the absolute widths from that 6.5 inches,
leaving 4 inches of space available to the proportional columns, which will
be 1 and 3 inches, respectively. If we were to take off the last column, we
would have 5 inches of space for the proportional columns, so they will be
1.25 and 3.75 inches, respectively.

someone remind me what "proportional-columnwidth(1)" should
mean? I can trap it, but not sure now to interpret it :-}
the current situation is a bug. I can fix it quickly, but can
you send me a test .fo file, Dennis, to make sure I do it right?
