You are confusing the shapes of conforming document trees with what  
document tree shapes the HTML5 parsing algorithm can produce.

The spec prose that allows direct tr children of table says that it  
is conforming to have a DOM like that (either by parsing XHTML5 or by  
scripting). The parsing part of the spec reveals that you can never  
get a tree like that by parsing text/html.
