However... <td>s don't necessarily have to be closed, it just depends
on how one defines them.
I know how to fix table markup issue and it is exactly the opposite way.
We should completely forbid </td>, </th> and </tr>.
They are just noise and table is completely unambiguous without them.
This is also completely correct in HTML, but we may automatically
generate closing tags if we want to generate XHTML.
This reduces weight of table markup by almost half.
(Most tables on Polish Wikipedia are already written this way)
