<xsl:apply-templates mode="td"/>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="td">
  <td>

Of course a mode with just a single template is the same thing as a 
for-each so you could if you prefer not have the td mode and instead go

<xsl:for-each select="*">
  <td>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
  </td>
</xsl:for-each>

matter of taste really, and whether you want to do it for several 
different parent templates, in which case all of them sharing the td 
mode saves a bit over repeating the for-each in each one,
