I'd love to use CSS table-layout, but until they add rowspan and colspan, it's just too limited to be of much use.

I thought colspan and rowspan were added as "presentational hooks" anyway.

I’ve never come across a sitaution (while using tables for tabular data) where I needed to use either attribute.

Nope, in CSS tables, there is no equivalent of colspan and rowspan. This confuses me, as there are dozens of cases where you'd need them. Oh well.
