	[DJW:]  The HTML spec says:
HTML documents are constrained to conform to the HTML DTD both before and
	after processing any SCRIPT elements.

	I read that as saying that it is legal to generate
</td></tr><tr><td>more row data</td></tr><tr><td>

	However, my experience of most web sites that generate
	HTML with Javascript is that I get a blank page when I 
	access them (I disable it by default, for security reasons,
	and also out of principle), so speaking as a consumer, I
	would discourage dynamically created content in any form,
	although, as a coder, I have done it so that features that
	only worked with scripting disappear when viewed without
	scripting, the features themselves, being non-negotiable
	requirements.
