No, you are not lazy at all Andre (as I see how much work you spend daily on maintaining the Dutch wikipedia :-). And furthermore, not closing tr-, th- and td-tags is VALID HTML 4 ! Indeed, in older HTML-versions this was not correct, but in HTML 4.01 you do NOT need to close these tags any longer. Read: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.5
Kind regards, Pieter

Just thinking:
Sometimes, there's an image which is not very wide. You don't want it to occupy a whole line, because that would create a huge white space. So, you'll align the image left or right from the article. (I prefer right, so the text of the article will align left).
Now that image has a caption. The caption would be wider than the image, which looks ugly, so you want to wrap it. Also, the caption should be centered with the image. What I do is
<table align=right> <tr> <td align=center width=1> [[image:xyz.jpg]]<br> Some longer caption, which is wider than the image itself </td> </tr> </table>
Someone explain to me how to do that in wiki syntax, with the *same* result, without the code looking more ugly? (you are free to invent a wiki table syntax for that puropse!)
Although also using HTML in this case, I still use a slightly different syntax. What I do is:
<table align=right> <tr><td align="center">[[image:xyz.jpg]] <tr><td align="center"> ''Some longer caption, which is wider<br>than the image itself'' </table>
And yes, I know it is bad HTML to not close the tr's and td's, but I guess I'm lazy...
