I was off a few days, but I would still like to reformulate another proposal 
here now I understand your reasoning better.

What if instead we specified that "span 3 invalid-name" spans to :
- the minimum of
-- a span of 3 lines (with no name constraint)
-- the last line of the explicit grid

With this algorithm, we try to preserve as much as possible the two 
assumptions of this kind of span:
-- at least three lines will be spanned
-- the span will not cross the explicit grid boundaries

While this is open for debate, I would propose to apply this rule in two 
cases:
- no line is named "invalid-name" at all.
- no line is named "invalid-name" after the line from which the span is 
computed.
(currently, the second one reverts to a span of 1 after error correction)

Thoughts?
