Problem is caused by COLSPAN="0"

Nav4.x does not support the html 4 colspan=0 and treats it like colspan=1. The 
attachment gives an error condition involving colspan=0. colspan=0 means the 
cell spans to the end of the table. If cells follow it on the same row then it 
is up to the ua how to deal with it. Anyway, I will add a NavQuirks hack to turn 
colspan=0 into colspan=1 and that will fix the problem for pages that rely on 
this behavior.

rowspan/colspan=0 now only works according to HTML 4 in strict mode. There are 
pages relying on the behavior where a value <= 0 becomes 1.

Using 7/13 build, table working correctly in Nav Quirks. Colspan of 0 = 1. 
Verifying bug fixed.
