As for the inheritance, I see no difficulty in it: table-columns are supposed to host inheritable features for their cell descendants (I mean descendants in the area tree, not in the result tree). Rules for table-related inheritance issues (layer precedence etc) are relatively well elaborated in CSS2, and we plan to implement it in a similar fashion. A thing I probably miss: why do you need a special 'column-align'? Do you see a special trait here that cannot be expressed by the old poor "text-align"?
