When you put a start tag within another element, in this case xsl:when, the close tag for that element has to be nested properly within that element as well. There is no way around that, since it is an inherent characteristic of xml (I won't talk about faking it with disable-output-escaping, which will not be needed here in any way, shape, or form). Some people can see this more easily by thinking about the tree that is constructed by the processor- each node may contain other nodes. A node cannot contain part of another node - it's all or nothing. The xsl:when can either contain a whole, intact td element or not, but it cannot contain half of a td element. You just have to rearrange your thinking a little and get the end tag for the <td> into the same parent element. If you think that you need to split the element, you do not yet understand clearly what you really want to accomplish, but it should quickly get clear.
