In practice, colspan and rowspan are mostly used in layout tables, which
means that they aren't really that structural. A layout table using them
can be replaced by a set of block elements (typically <div>) and CSS code
that sets the dimensions and positions of those elements.
When used in structural (data) tables, the colspan and rowspan are indeed
structural, and there is no way and no need to replace them by the use of
CSS.
