I recall saying that. Looks like I wasn't entirely correct (see below).

> I'm not particularly keen on the idea of making the collapsing the first row or column special, though, so if there are existing implementations that don't do that, I'd certainly be happy to drop that bit, and to treat collapsing any row or column of a column/row-spanning cell the same.

I agree and just realized the behavior we are seeing is not that the first cell is hidden if its rows is hidden, but rather that it inherits "visibility:collapse" from its row, which gets interpreted as "visibility:hidden" and hides the cell. If you specify "visibility:visible" on it, it reappears.

I'll update the spec, this is just a mistake.
