Does not matter, we cannot emulate the behaivour of that invalid HTML with valid HTML without using Cascading Style Sheets. We can let Tidy add style information, but this is not a good idea, we should leave it to the author to fix visual appearance, he knows better what he tries to achieve. However, the second code example is the best thing we can generate to emulate browsers behaivour. Remember, Tidy is designed to take invalid HTML and make it valid while keeping the visual appearance as good as possible, hence I support Richard's request.
