I'm running into similar issues.
I believe that Docbook doesn't have complete support in the area of HTML
formated tables at the present time.
I'm currently working on a customization layer for borders specified
with CSS styles.
Also, I've had to add support in my customization layer for colspan,
rowspan, align, and valign.
I raised the colspan issue on this list last week and Bob Stayton had me
log it as a bug. I'll be logging other issues towards the end of this
week after further research and experimentation.
If anyone has more info in this area I'd love to know.
