Okay, here's the problem: there are multiple valid solutions to this
specification:

  <box cols=3>
      <box colspan=2 minwidth=40>
      <box/>
      <box/>
      <box colspan=2 minwidth=40>
  </box>

The columns here could be sized 20,20,20 or 10,30,10 -- both are valid
solutions.  The former specification forced it to be 20,20,20.

So, Charlie, you must modify your specification to remove the ambiguity.
