If you're coding properly you really should be stating TD widths all the time.
Really... If you really understood what the standards do... why they are in place, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Do you see yourself as a designer or developer?

---------------------I consider myself a developer rather than a designer, even if design is a big part of my work.
I don't care for proper code as much as I do for the result. I value user higher than a validator. I mean it doesn't bother me if a [td] has no width stated if it works ok.I do understand the need for standards, how they bring a totally different approach, the importance of accessibility etc. I'm using xml/css in my everyday work and I know it's the way to go.
I just hate how they fucked up some things on the way and you can't blame browsers for it.It dates long back to html 4 and quirksmode. Quirksmode was the browser makers answer to real-life developer needs. In example it supported table height, which wasn't allowed by w3c specs, but was really useful in our work. Time goes on and xhtml brings even less support for centering, stretching and aligning. Why didn't they listen?
