I don't think this has been discussed before. To try to answer what I know about your questions, I don't see any problem with applying the rules for border conflict resolution to row and column spanning cells the same way they are applied to any other cells. The conflict should be resolved according to the rules in the spec for all borders that could be drawn on the segment in question. Is there something I am missing? The example in http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#table-layers is the only example in the spec involving rowspan or colspan. This may help.
