It's only valid if the matching </form> appears before the </td> 

That is, you can have  <td> ... <form> ... </form> ... </td> or  
<form> ... <table> ... </table> ... </form> but not  <td> ... <form> 
... </td> ... </form> which is commonly found as a way to get forms 
to "look right". 

This last, I assume, is what the original requester is trying to 
clean up.
