Thanks.
The very last part of our answer was:

It's issue #4 which worries us the most.
I was able to create a table similar to delete-rectify.xhtml (see
attached my-delete-rectify.xhtml) using the table toolbar alone.
I faced the same problems as you when I naively tried to get rid with
the spanned cells using Edit|Delete or "Table Cell|Increment Row
Span".
Even if this is not intuitive (A) using menu item "Table
Cell|Decrement Row Span" on almost all the cells of the row containing
"RECTIFY" then (B) using menu item "Table Row|Delete" worked
flawlessly. (See attached my-delete-rectify-2.xhtml)
We currently don't see how we could improve the behavior of XXE for
issue #4. For now, we can only recommend to stop using XXE table
toolbar when modifying (just *modifying*; creating seems OK) advanced
tables and to use Cmd-L (View|Redraw) liberally.
Sorry. We know that this is really disappointing.

So, for users, this seems to mean that, in case of trouble editng the
cells of a particular <tr> element, then the user should try to simplify
the table as much as possible (by way of splitting cells which have
rowspan="<moreThanOne>") performing the problematic action.

PS: Our answer also contained this VERY USEFUL TIP: All the commands
found in the table toolbar are repeatable.
For example, if you select "Increment Row Span" on a td, suffice to
press Cmd-A (A like Again) to repeat this command on other td or th.
