<h1>ROWSPAN > 1 to row distribution</h1>
<p>The algorithm has not been standardized. This is my understanding of how it works.</p>
<ol>
<li>rowspan>1 TDs are sorted:</li>
<ol>
<li>If TD span the same rows, taller TD is distributed first.</li>
<li>If one TD is fully enclosed by another, inner TD is distributed first.</li>
<li>Otherwise, higher TD is distributed first.</li>
</ol>
<li>Each rowspan>1 TD's height is distributed as following</li>
<ol>
<li>rowspan > 1 TDs have height TDh, span N rows. N rows have total height of Rh. TDh - Rh height, Dh, must be distributed as follows.</li>
<li>If percentage resolution size is available (this happens when redistributiong table/section height), percentage rows grow to their percentage size, proportional to (percentage size - current size). Dh shrinks by distributed height. Justification: explicit percentage rows should grow to their percentage.</li>
<li>Rows that originate rowspan>1 cells get all the Dh height, distributed evenly. Justification: rowspan>1 rows are likely to need to grow later. If there are multiple rowspan>1 cells, there can be multiple originating rows.</li>
<li>Unconstrained non-empty rows grow, proportional to their existing height.</li>
<li>If all rows are empty, last row gets all the height. Justification: ???</li>
<li>Contstrained rows grow in proportion to current height.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p class="error">It is unclear what the existing ChromeLegacy/FF algorithms do for distribution over rowspan>1 and empty cells. <a href="https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/tables/nsTableRowGroupFrame.cpp#509">FF special cases</a> "there is no cell originating in the row with owspan=1 and there are at least 2 cells spanning the row. Chrome Legacy also tries to do something similar, but they disagree on what. TablesNG will try to ship without special cases.</p>

Not sure how to test this, I think it is just an optimization, there is no observable effect.
