I think you are right; td/th are options simply because of the content

restrictive condition to the tr content model when in a thead.
After examining a whole bunch of tables, I've come to the same
conclusion, and have adjusted the spec accordingly.
I expect we'll change this back, and allow <td> in <tr>, because I expect
someone will find a table where it makes sense. If anyone can find a
table
where it makes sense, I'll change it back.
The only case I can think of is an empty cell in the top-left when having
both column and row headers. The spec doesn't say whether to use td or th
for such cells, and I've seen both being used in the wild.
