Stop wanting that. The Web is not the press, and my screen is not a
newspaper. Even more so for a portable device, a speech browser, or Braille
rendering - but even if we (foolishly) assume that everything runs a
graphic browser in a maximized window, it's _much_ smaller than a newspaper
(especially considering the resolution).

What way?
The width attributes are just suggested minimum widths, and they may be
overridden for several reasons. Sometimes you might find out the particular
reason why they are overridden in a specific case. This often takes some
time, since rendering of tables is fairly complex in browsers. Personally,
I would need a good reason to attack such problems; in this case, it very
much looks like you are trying to solve the wrong problem.
