html-tidy@war-of-the-worlds.org wrote Certain programs habitually generate the same errors. If detecting the generator assists in disambiguating a markup error with regard to the intention behind the error, detecting the original generator from the META tag would be very useful. Not the by-hand vs. by-machine difference as originally suggested but rather differentiating different machines' behaviors and intents. Yes, that seems to be a very good idea. If the Word 2000 generator tag is seen then invoke the Word 2000 cleanup function (unless explicitly over-ridden). I was very pleased to discover that tidy adds its meta generator tag, not replaces the one there already.
