Since this this is presentational, should this be the job of the style sheet To build up the 'picture' of the table (dimensions, spans etc) then present this to the end user as requested? This calls on Jasons idea of being able to manipulate content for presentation. Simple arrow key interaction would do (minimally), but the presentation and CSS capabiities for that interaction, without help from the browser, would be a challenge. Spanning: Suggest that the 'nominally empty' cells be shown as such. ie. if cols 1 and 2 are taken up with a header, then col 1 'contains' the content, cell 2 is 'empty', cell 3 being the next one to hold content.
