I was wondering if we could post-process the table segment with the  
all-day events to join multiple cells into a colspan.
My recollection is that this runs into a problem with how a series of  
multi-day events are tiled within the region.

But yes, definitely not a minor change or I suspect someone would have  
submitted code to do it.
