That's bad usability and bad accessibility, especially as regards to  
tabbing. It _doubles_ the number of times you need to press Tab to get to a  
specific link. It also pollutes the list of all links on the page; such a  
list is available to the user in some browsers, and essential to some users. 
 
I would expect that one could set up one <a> element inside a <td> element,  
with some inner inline markup (probably <span>) inside the <a> element, and  
then set display: block and width: 100% for the <a> element and align the  
inner elements suitably. But I'm now too tired to test it.
