Consider the following table (taken in part from maxima's user manual):

@multitable {greater than or equal to 333} {notequal 333} {relational
function}
@headitem Operation @tab Symbol @tab Type
@item less than                  @tab @code{<}        @tab relational infix
@item less than or equal to      @tab @code{<=}       @tab relational infix
@item equality (syntactic)       @tab @code{=}        @tab relational infix
@end multltable

In the pdf and info file, the columns are spaced out nicely according to
the prototype.  If the prototype is made wider, then the columns are
wider.  But this doesn't happen in the html output.  The width of each
column is pretty much fixed to the entry with the widest element.

But if I replace the prototype with @columnfractions, everything works
nicely in info, pdf, and html.

The prototype form is much easier to use; it's hard to know a priori what
column fractions to use to make the columns spaced nicely.

I tested this with texinfo 6.8 and 7.0.1; they both have the same html
column problem.
