   @pjfanning I would like to know your opinion about returning -1 or 0 for `XWPFTableCell.getWidth()` when there's no explicit width set in the document. `XWPFTable.getWidth()` returns -1, but ``XWPFTable|XWPFTableCell.getWidthDecimal()` both return 0. I'm for using -1, as I explain in the message.
   
   Heads-up: I will still work a bit on this topic; while I was testing this I realized it's possible to crash with NPE if the tcW element of the cell is set but empty.
