Ok, when I correctly use column-width for table-column, the fixed
width layout and total width of table renders as expected: a 5 inch
wide table.
However, I am with Tony, and assuming that the same result could be
achieved as I originally suggested, by specifying table-cell widths in
each table-cell of the first row. This does not seem to be supported
though. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, one more behaviour which I am use to, is the omition of 1
table-cell width of a set of declared table cell widths would result
in a table width of 100%, where the omitted table-cell width stretches
to accomodate (all other table-cell widths adhere to their designated
width value). Is this the expected behaviour of FO?
Thanks,
Karl..

don't you want
<fo:table-column column-width="2.5in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="2.5in"/>
before that table body?
The fixed widths can be taken from the cells in the first row. XSL FO
behaves like CSS2 [1] in this (though xmlroff currently doesn't support
this).
