Well, in some cases, incomplete rows creates problems: " If a subsequent row has more columns than the greater of the number determined by the table-column elements and the number determined by the first row, then additional columns may not be rendered. CSS 2.1 does not define the width of the columns and the table if they are rendered. When using 'table-layout: fixed', authors should not omit columns from the first row.

Firefox 13.0.1 renders this correctly, I'd say. The thicker border wins over the thin blue border. The A is vertically centered in the rowspanned cell.

IMO, top half of A's left border should be thin blue. Bottom half of A's left border should be thick red. > Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that the WG knows that the issue > exists.
