Passing Invalid HTML through the XSLT processor

Subject: Passing Invalid HTML through the XSLT processor

I need some help passing invalid HTML through the XSLT processor.  We are
taking XML data and running it through a XSL stylesheet to output an HTML
webpage.  The document that will be output is big, like 500 lines of code.
Not all of it is XML (maybe 100 lines) and there are large blocks of HTML
that have nothing to do with XML.  Some of the HTML code is being flagged
by the XSLT processor as being invalid because of inproper nesting.

For example having something like this inside a table:

<TD><FORM>

Form code

</TD><TD></FORM></TD>

It's not that complicated, there are places where we want to have a form
inside of 2 cells, but the XSLT processor will not let this code pass
through.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  If possible, we do not want to rewrite
the HTML code.  The page only looks good in HTML when it is laid out in
this way using 2 cells for a single form.

Thanks,

chris
