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.

Rimantas
