Yeah, it's specced:

Opened bug with same text here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1441710
Thanks!
I think the reasoning is in the email? Is there something more specific
you're looking for?
Yeah fair enough (I expected to mention your Servo table layout stuff,
but I guess that's more off-topic than on-topic), sorry :)

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,

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?
