OT: a bit cheeky..

Oh, sorry.  I didn't realize you meant you were nesting them four levels, etc.

In that case, I might have to recommend IE7, if you can't move to divs.  That
should definitely handle it, even if for the penalty (which will go away once
MSIE 7 is released.)

You could put classes on the tds themselves, which would fix this issue...

Sorry, there isn't a good solution to this problem for your usage after all,
that I know of.  Forgive me for misunderstanding.
