This is pretty tricky, as there's no valid element that can wrap around the TDs.

I think something like the following may make semantic sense:

<colgroup span="2"></colgroup>
<colgroup span="2" class="vcard organiser"></colgroup>
<tr class="event">
  <td class="summary">Event 1</td>
  <td><abbr title="20070101" class="dtstamp">2007-01-01</abbr></td>
  <td><a href="http://example.org/event1" class="url">subscribe</a></td>
  <td class="fn">Organiser 1</td>
  <td><a href="mailto:email1 at example.org" class="email">contact</a></td>
</tr>

But a close reading of the HTML spec would be required, and I doubt
any parsers would pick it up..
