Well, markup is a mess indeed, but on the other hand there is no DOCTYPE, so it is not claimed to adhere to any standards. On the other hand, </tr> and </td> _are_ optional (no quotes) even in HTML 4.01 Strict, and unquoted attributes are sometimes allowed too (not encouraged, though). Coding style you can find in http://rimantas.com/bits/shock-horror.html is not recommended (and IIRC IE has/had problems with missing </td>s), but it does not make document invalid... In fact, these features may come handy when every byte counts. Sorry for the off-topic.
