4 is definitely safe

i've gone down 6, and i think you can go 8 safely

try it for yourself, go visit the "massively nested table stress test"
in your browser of choice and see if you notice a rendering
delay as you resize the window (the tables are liquid)

<tip type="html table complexity">
always choose to nest an additional table level
rather than resort to complex colspans and rowspans
</tip>

of course, if you have to nest tables more than 2 or 3 deep,
perhaps you need to re-think the design, eh
