In practice, colspan and rowspan are mostly used in layout tables, which 
means that they aren't really that structural. A layout table using them 
can be replaced by a set of block elements (typically <div>) and CSS code 
that sets the dimensions and positions of those elements.

When used in structural (data) tables, the colspan and rowspan are indeed 
structural, and there is no way and no need to replace them by the use of 
CSS.
