bullish td attributes

It seems Tidy accepts most anything as an attribute of a td element.
Witness the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<table bull="bull" summary="Bull test">
<tr bull="bull">
<td bull="bull">Test</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Tidy (run from inside of HTMLKit) complains about the 'bull="bull"'
of table, and the 'bull="bull"' of tr, but doesn't say anything about
the equally bullish 'bull="bull"' of td.

PS. Doesn't anyone but me find it strange that the validator at
w3c does not validate XHTML code, but nevertheless declares it
valid as long as it's well-formed?
