This is not right.

You can mix absolute widths (i.e. column-width="5cm") with proportional widths (i.e. column-width="proportional-column-width( number-of-units )") and the formatter will prorate the remaining width of the table for proportional specifications after removing any absolute values.

But you do need to specify table-layout="fixed" in order to use proportional-column-width(). If you want the table to be as wide as possible (the width of the current containing reference area, e.g., the region-body), specify width="100%".

Cheers,
