I wonder why that popped up again after it was already discussed in
some detail back in February, see

Only to cells represented by table-cell elements, whether being
"empty-repeated" or with content. There are no "automatically until end
of row" cell elements in an ODF document to which the style attribute
could apply.

However, I second that the wording of the specification in 8.2.1 is
a bit unfortunate and doesn't clarify on that, and the "Example: Table
with three columns" following the definition of
table:default-cell-style-name is not related.
