Alex, I don't see how you can ignore cells that span multiple. I just ran excel. In excel I merged two cells forming one cell that spanned two rows. What happened was when you select the cell (click on it), or any cell in either of the spanned rows you select the top and bottom cell from each row. So, in a sence, you are not skipping cells but rather you have bound the two rows together. So, as soon as you have selected a "merged" cell you are selecting cells that span the merge. This is a good strategy as you are not omitting cells you select.
In your scenario, if you select a row and, due to a span, you have a cell
spanning two rows you select both rows.
Make sense?

AM method implementation
Hi. IA2 doc doesn't address situation when row or column spans are
presented in a table. So let we have an example,
<table>
<tr>
<td>cell1</td>
<td rowspan="1">cell2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>cell3</td>
</tr>
</table>
visually this table is presented like
|---------|---------|
| cell1 | cell2 |
|---------| |
| cell3 | |
|---------|---------|
If I select second row then we should select "cell3". Should we select
spanned "cell2" as well? On the one hand it looks reasonable because
when I want to select row then I want to see all cells in the row
selected. On another hand I would say no because we should unselect
first row per documentation and therefore we should uselect "cell1"
and "cell2", i.e. "cell2" remains unselected. So should we add words
into documentation (un)selectRow/Column deals with origin cells only
(i.e. cells those aren't result of row or column spans)?
Alex.
