Yep.  You're running into two issues:

1)  HTML won't let you make the <td> a link (XLink solves this problem, by the
    way)
2)  Vertical alignment is very hard to do in CSS

Note that you could _still_ make the <a> display:table-cell, give it
vertical-align:middle, and it would work like you want it to, even within the
constraints of the existing CSS2 layout model.
