           Summary: <table> nodes get <tbody> added automatically if omitted
                    (in IE)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/hell
                    fire/hellfire.xml
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tables
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: darin at apple.com


I ran into a problem on a World of Warcraft page:

    http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/hellfire/hellfire.xml

It turned out to be some code that assumes that a <table> gets a <tbody>
automatically created. For this markup:

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

IE creates a <tbody> element in the DOM. Firefox does not do this. The page
doesn't work with Firefox either.

I'm not sure what we should do about this difference in behavior.
