Comment:

 {{{
 <TABLE>
 <TR>
 <TD>xx</TD><TD>yy</TD></TR>
 <TR><TD>11</TD><TD>22</TD></TR>
 <TABLE>
 }}}

 Is not valid HTML, but it will end up like this in the DOM:

 {{{
 <table>
   <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td>xx</td><td>yy</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>11</td><td>22</td>
     </tr>
   </tbody>
 </table>
 }}}

 However, WordPress adds the following before that:

 {{{
 <p></p><br><br><br><br>
 …
 }}}

 If you enter the valid table from the DOM in the editor and save the post,
 not `<br>`'s are being printed anymore.

 Sounds like a `wpautop()` to me.
