Thanks!  In your code you used {}'s around variables and attributes
within the column-width.  I did not realize you could do this! (which is
probably xsl 101 :] )  I ended up writing a function to insert an
attribute into the tag, and then used column-width = "{@name}in" for the
'dynamic' column size.

Thanks for all the help,
Luke
