Summary: Table Markup adds extra span and breaks XHTML
validation

Consider the markup:
{|
| <h1>ಅ</h1>
|-
| ಆ
|-
|}
This is converted to HTML as:
<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<h1><span id=".E0.B2.85" class="mw-headline">ಅ</span></h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ಆ</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
Look at the <span> tag, which is not present in the actual wiki markup. The
problem is that it is taking the Unicode code points of the text ಅ (Kannada
letter A) in UTF-8 format, and is converting to value of the "id" attribute.
This is breaking the XHTML validation of the texts. Why this extra <span> tag
is introduced by MediaWiki? This is observed only for the heading tags <h1> to
<h6>, and not for any other tag.
Thanks & Regards,
