The error messages could do with improvement. but the fix is simple:
Attributes values have to be quoted in XML and XML literals,
though not always in HTML:

#<td align="center">toto</td>

With XML literals:
#<TABLE DIR="LTR" BORDER width="315" id="table_observateurs"></TABLE>

However, note that case is significant in XML (though not HTML), so I recommend lower-case:

#<table dir="LTR" border width="315" id="table_observateurs"></table>

Using function call syntax:

(html:table dir: "LTR" width: 315 id: "table_observateurs")

Number attribute values don't have to be quoted - it should work either way.
