I understand that this is exactly what designers should not be doing --
disregarding users' convenience and enforcing some kind of design
integrity or consistency that they feel is important.
Besides, if you are relying on non-liquid tables for design integrity,
you are missing something bigtime anyway. You can always force a part of
the table for that purpose (say a header <TR> which contains
navigational elements) and leave the textual content itself liquid. For
instance.
