Does your table have lots of rows, and are you going to change the column widths on a row-by-row basis? I was thinking maybe you could work out the word-lengthiness of content by using the ratio of its total string-length and the string-length of all its non-whitespace characters. That would give you a (rough) idea of which content needed the most elbow-room. it sounds like you'll have a bit of a fight on your hands regardless...
