No, not in HTML 4. What table specification are you using?
COL has an attribute 'span' in HTML 4.

The COLGROUP's 'span' is ignored when it should, according to HTML 4:
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#edef-COLGROUP>:
span = [242]number [243][CN]
This attribute, which must be an integer > 0, specifies the number of
columns in a
column group. Values mean the following:
[...]
User agents must ignore this attribute if the [248]COLGROUP element
contains one or
more [249]COL elements.

I believe so far that it is working as it should. That is, according
to HTML 4. If some table spec says something different, maybe RFC XXXX? -
well I didn't look at it.
But I didn't compile the dev.14 yet - did something get lost?
