I see your thinking, but I disagree as well.

Tables are for tabular data. A form may look like a table, but it's not a table - it's a form. Use form, fieldset, label tags etc.

Simple rule - imagine how you'd lay your content out on paper. If you'd draw up a table, then it's ok online too.
But you wouldn't put a form in a table, would you...?
