I think it means that in a multi-column page the table will be the
full width of the page if pgwide is true. Otherwise it will be fit
into one column.
I conjecture that the reference to landscape refers to the orientation
attribute for the table, "orient", not for the document. I can't see
disallowing full width tables in a landscape document, but if the
table is rotated 90 degrees to the body of the document, then column
width becomes meaningless.

My apologies; I should have included it.
<table frame="all" tocentry="1" pgwide="0" id="project.schedule">
<title>Project Schedule</title>
<tgroup cols="3" colsep="1" rowsep="1" align="left">
<thead>
<row>
In any case, I think John R. Daily has the solution. More on that in
my reply to him.
