Hmph.  I experimented with the attached patch, but at least in my browser
it only reduces the spacing inconsistency, it doesn't eliminate it.
And from a semantic standpoint, this is not nice markup.

Doing better would require substantial foolery with sub-columns and I'm
not even sure that it's possible to fix that way.  (We don't have huge
control over inter-column spacing, I don't think.)

On the whole, if this is our worst table problem, I'm happy ;-)
