Of course they have an editpart - the owner, and yes, it?s the table
editpart.
You were talking of a model - editpart - relation  which doesn?t exist in

A cell with rowspan has the effect, that some cells of the  (rowspan -1)

to the right. And so on.... my algorithm initially calculates the original
position of the cells and then adds or subtracts
relatively the appropiate coordinates.
