Maybe you can try ConTeXt's natural tables -- \bTABLE...\eTABLE. The
philosophy of natural tables is very close to HTML's one and should be
pretty for you. The span of rows is simple -- use \bTD[nr=<rows you want to
span>].

More about natural tables you can find in core-ntb.tex or in the example
enattab.pdf
