Yes. The rendered HTML output is prettier with your patch. It is just
the HTML source that is full of &nbsp;. But now, I understand that it
comes from table.el.

No, I've used your example to test your patch.

Yes. It is false for simple table without spanning so I guess it's ok.

No, it's ok and it is my fault: I was worried about the complex HTML
output but now I understood that it is so for spanning table that are
rendered by table.el (and as I said I'm no HTML table expert so I guess
that table.el is the right thing when it comes to complex tables).
