It is good if they are becoming more unforgiving for real breaches of the
standard (made-up elements, incorrect nesting, etc.), but missing </td> and
</tr> is perfectly valid according to the HTML 4.01 standard.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html - <tr> and <td> have "O"
denoting "Optional" in the close tag column.
