correct markup of empty cells in a data table

for

I have a data table that contains an empty cell "<td
rowspan="5">&nbsp;"
I am not sure if it is best marked up as a TH (as the other cells in the row
are th) or as a TD

any ideas? does it matter?

example code:


CBF Case by Status

&nbsp;
Case Status
Total



Draft
0



Suspended
0



Returned from Suspension
0

CBF Starts and Exits

Number of Cases Exited
0



Number of Cases Started
0



best regards
stevef
