I too like the simple cell alignment control and use it regularly.
When it comes to cell spanning, considerations must be made for which empty cells span.
If you have empty cells in the beginning of a row, such as a column header, it shouldn't necessarily span:
{{{
| |= col 1 |= col 2 |
|row 1| r1c1 | r1c2 |
|row 2| r2c1 | r2c2 |
}}}
but, if trailing cells are empty, should it span automatically unless you put in a space or {{{ }}} ?
{{{
| |= col 1 |= col 2 | | |= col 1 |= col 2 | | |= col 1 |= col 2 |
|row 1| r1c1 | r1c2 | vs. |row 1| r1c1 | r1c2 | vs. |row 1| r1c1 | r1c2 |
|row 2| r2c1 | | |row 2| r2c1 (spans) || |row 2| r2c1 ||
}}}
(examples of with and without natural white space, and source-text alignment.)
Maybe it should be if there's "no space" between vertical bars, it represents a NULL resulting in a SPAN. I believe this is how Tiki Text does it. (Note: I don't use spanning in Tiki Text in my situation. I like having a consistent grids in my scripts' output controlled by CSS.)
This might go against the grain for some folks used to using || for separating cells or those that like spacing for source-text alignment but natural white space in cells are treated as NULLs.
