About minimized form in non empty elements

Hi everybody.

Due to my english (not really good) I'll get straight to the point:

XHTML 1.0 : Transitional DTD

<table>
 <tr />
  <td> something </td>
  <td> something else </td>
</table>

According to validator.w3.org this IS valid.
I thought that this should be interpreted as (in HTML):

<table>
<tr> </tr>
<td> <td>
</table>

which i think is invalid.

instead it is interpreted (in netscape and mozilla) and produces the same
output as (in HTML):

<table>
<tr>
  <td> something </td>
  <td> something else </td>
</tr>
</table>


Is something wrong in validator, in netscape and mozilla, or am I missing
something (if that's the case, feel free to ignore me :-)
