A test case for rowspan was added in r90657, confirming that rowspan groups are
being split up into individual duplicated cells prior to sorting. I don't see
any evidence of the re-merging described above in comment 7, so that might not
have made it into the new version.

There's also no test treatment of the issue originally mentioned in this bug --
tables using colspan groups to add breaks / subheaders to a long table such as
on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late-November_2005_tornado_outbreak

Way up top there's a mention of the idea that fixing bug 4740 (support for
thead, tbody, tfoot elements of table) would allow that to be resolved -- I
think by letting folks group each set of rows into a separate <tbody>, and
sorting within each one...?

I presume this would require setting the breaker rows to be individually
unsortable, and grouped into the <tbody>s that they describe (they can't be
separate <thead> chunks, you can only have one <thead> at the top).

So the table at [[Wisconsin_Tornado_Outbreak_of_August_2005]] might be
restructured something like:

<table>
<thead>
  <tr><th>F#</th>...</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr><th colspan="7">Minnesota</th></tr>
  <tr><td>F0</td>...</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
  <tr><th colspan="7">Wisconsin</th></tr>
  <tr><td>F0</td>...</tr>
  <tr><td>F1</td>...</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
