You might want to check out the markup parser we use on Unreal Wiki.
My co-host there Mychaeel wrote it as a replacement for UseModWiki's 
built-in parser.
It's a separate perl script.

http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Wookee -- general description & test area

It's OO and extendable.
I expect it can be taught to chomp up unclosed <TD> as a piece of wiki 
markup and spit out clean <TD></TD>.
But maybe we should reopen the debate on implementing table markup?
