Problems tidying content as XHTML strict

All,
 
About two years ago, there was a thread about the fact that Tidy creates
XHTML 1.0 Transitional even if you state that your input is XHTML 1.0 Strict
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/html-tidy/2003JulSep/0107.html).

I'm running into the same issue right now, and I was wondering if any
changes have been made in the last two years to address this. I haven't been
able to get Tidy to behave in the way I'd like (e.g. dropping the 'language'
attribute of the 'script' element and generating a warning about that,
instead of dropping down to Transitional because it sees the 'language'
attribute), but maybe I'm missing something somewhere.

Any pointers appreciated.
