Wouldn't it be sufficient and more desirable to require each row

least one cell that starts on that row and each column to have at

cell that starts in that column? (By starts I mean having the top

there.)
This would allow tables like this:
112
344
and
12
13
43
(Where numbers denote cells so that 11 means a cell spanning two
columns.)
What's the difference?
Your formulation seemed to require at least one non-extended (i.e.
colspan="1" rowspan="1") cell on each row and column, unless by
"extending into" you didn't mean the row/column on which the cell
starts.
