...with the exception of <tbody>'s in <table>'s (are there others?).
Converting this XHTML fragment:
<table><tr><td>Cell</td></tr></table>
to HTML and then back to XHTML will produce:
<table><tbody><tr><td>Cell</td><tr></tbody></table>
except if your converter is able to omit the <tbody> in the XHTML
re-serialization because it's the only child of the <table> (it means
that you're not just parsing and serializing a DOM tree).
