Depends on the table.  For sparse tables, it could actually be easier to
read and understand this way (think of a table representing a battleship
board, for example)

I suppose in such an instance it is necessary to put rows= and columns=
attributes on the grid as well:

<grid class="battleship" rows="10" columns="10">
<cell class="vertical aircraft-carrier" rows="5 6 7 8" columns="3">
<cell class="horizontal cruiser" rows="2" columns="3 4 5">
...
</grid>
