Tables: Does scope="col" Stop When A Row Spans Multiple Columns?

Hi,
I have a table in which the heading cells all have scope="col", but the table has some rows that span across the whole table. What is the expected behavior for this situation? Should I consider using the headers and id attributes to get proper reading if something doesn't work?

Thanks.

Jim
