Concerning
<table><form><tr>...</form></table>
there's a heuristic which sometimes help:
1. if there is a start-tag <X> inside an element <E>...
and X is not allowed inside E
but E is allowed inside X
and X is allowed inside E's parent
then move <X> to just before <E>...
2. if there is an end-tag </X> inside an element <E>...
and X is not allowed inside E -- these two conditions
but E is allowed inside X -- imply that X is not E
and X is (now) E's parent
then replace </X> by </E></X><E>
and flag the new <E> as generated by Tidy.
3. if you find <E></E> where <E> was generated by Tidy,
quietly remove both <E> and </E>.
In the table/form case, we get *
<form><table><tr>...</table></form><table></table>
and rule 3 then quietly erases <table></table>
