XSLT stylesheets define a transformation from a source tree to a result
tree. An element in the stylesheet causes an element node to be written
to the result tree. 

You are imagining that a start tag in the stylesheet causes a start tag
to be written to a textual result document: you have got the model
wrong. Writing an element node is an indivisible operation.

So what's the answer to your problem? As usual, it's

> <xsl:template name="t2">
>       </tr>
>    <xsl:for-each select="*">
> 	<tr>
> 	   <td> another-cell </td>
>       </tr>
>    </xsl:for-each>
> </xsl:template>
