[migrating a few items of interest from todo.html to bugzilla]

For HTML document types (probably doesn't make sense for math, smil, svg?), the validation results 
could be interfaced with tidy. One idea would be to add, afterthe "this document is not valid X" banner, 
a paragraph saying "you can try to clean up your markup automatically with HTML tidy".

Implementation-wise, Bjoern, do you have any idea which would be the best choice? µTidylib? ptidy? 
Just a popen() / system() seems to be popular too, but probably isn't the best in terms of security/
resources.

Related to, but not duplicate of, AFAICT, Bug #76
