The snippet of SGML at the URL cited indicates that TD elements can contain
zero or more (denoted by the asterisk "occurrence indicator") flow
entities. A flow entity is defined (click on the link to obtain the
definition) as either a block or an inline entity. A block entity consists
of a number of alternate items, one of which is the form element. So a
form element may be contained within a TD element.
