Hi Manish,
Can you open / link to a bug for this work?
Also, is it on the spec? If so, probably spec issues need to be filed if
we really want it to get dropped?
A bit of reasoning (I do know why from IRC, but you should probably
explain) about why would be helpful, too.
It is indeed unfortunate that Blink added support for this just a month
before you intend to remove it, but probably as long as they're willing
to not ship it is fine.
Thanks,
-- Emilio

Gecko (and previously Presto) support setting `rowspan=0` in
non-quirksmode documents to mean "up to the end of the rowgroup" (for rows
not within rowgroups, this means that it spans up to the next rowgroup or
the end of the table). It is equivalent to setting rowspan to a very large
number.
colspan=0 does not do this[1]
Chrome/Blink very recently added support[2], but it's still in Canary, and
I'd like to remove it from both browsers and the spec before it hits
release.
You can already achieve this behavior with `rowspan=<large number>`, and
we should encourage developers to use Grid anyway, so I don't see much
value in having this feature in and of itself. Given that it was only
supported by one browser (us) for so many years, it's questionable whether
it's used enough on the Web for it to be something we must keep for compat
reasons.
Thoughts?
