This attribute can be used in several contexts:
As specified in the NISO JATS table model (based on and easily converted to the XHTML 1.1 table model), this attribute should specify the desired width of the entire table. The attribute is intended for visual applications. When the value is a percentage value, the value is relative to the available horizontal space. In the absence of any width specification, table width is determined by the application. The width value can be either an integer number of pixels or a percentage of the width of the display window.
