W3C tidy
I started doing a few docs with tidy to see how it went, and discovered
that it is disobeying at least one of the edicts regarding HTML in the
docs. Specifically, it is doing:
<li><a href=
"core.html#limitrequestfieldsize">LimitRequestFieldsize</a></li>
Rather than
<li><a href="core.html#limitrequestfieldsize"
>LimitRequestFieldsize</a></li>
Is this actually a big deal? Is there a rationale for this that goes
beyond someone's personal preference?

It also does a few extra things like changing unclosed tags
to look like <br />.
I'm +1 on xhtml.

On a related note, tidy has an -asxml switch that produces ...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Is *this* something that is desirable? Isn't this the eventual goal?
I tested a few docs, and they converted right over without complaining.
