> HTML5 solves that problem by specifying that you can just write <td> and then a closing tag is inferred at the next <td> or <th>, or at the end of the <tr>. This is not considered "error handling," either. It's perfectly legal to omit the closing tag, and the result is considered a well-formed HTML5 document. This was certainly never the case in XHTML, although I'm not sure how HTML4 handled this sort of chicanery.
This has been a design feature of HTML from its earliest days. Many end tags are optional, as are some start tags, including those for html, body, and tbody.
That last is perhaps lesser-known: in an HTML (but not XHTML) document, <tr> is never a child of <table>; there is always an implicit tbody (or explicit thead or tfoot) element in between.
