HTML tidy proved to be quite useful. The issue we faced (and still face)
at work is not that the HTML wasn't well-formed. Rather, too many different
hands had touched the docs, so there was a marked lack of consistency in
how some content was marked up. It was and is the lack of consistency that
requires a lot of hand massaging.
