Reported by Simon Sapin

17.2.1 (Anonymous table objects) says:

  # 3. Generate missing parents:
  #    1. For each 'table-cell' box C in a sequence of consecutive
  #       internal table and 'table-caption' siblings, if C's parent
  #       is not a 'table-row' then generate an anonymous 'table-row'
  #       box around C and all consecutive siblings of C that are
  #       'table-cell' boxes.

This appears to be identical to just saying that for any 'table-cell' C whose parent is not a 'table-row', a 'table-row' is generated around C and all consecutive siblings of C that are 'table-cell' boxes.
