Instead of "If rowspan is zero, then let cell grows downward be true, and set
rowspan to 1," it should read, If rowspan is zero, then set rowspan to 1. If
rowspan is greater than 1, then let cell grows downward be true.

No, the spec looks correct as-is, if rowspan="0" is to mean "span to end of row group".

Sorry, I didn't realize that rowspan=0 cells do that, so I misinterpreted the purpose of the list of downward-growing cells. It's only used to determine what slots rowspan=0 cells end. Thanks, Boris.
