jQuery 2.0 introduce breaking change in how creation of col elements is handled.

• $("<col />") - returns a col element
• $("<col /><col />") - returns a colgroup that contains n+1 col elements

The following jsbin demonstrates the above/see the browser console/ - http://jsbin.com/uturay/3/edit

Here is how it looks with jQuery 1.9.1 - http://jsbin.com/ehefeg/1/edit

For me expected behavior should be as in 1.9.1 version or at least in both cases(for 1 col and 1+ col) to have consistent behavior.

Thank you!
