Tidy and Windows Script Encoding

Unless I've missed something, Tidy appears to be incompatible with HTML pages that use Windows Script Encoding [<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/SeconScriptEncoderOverview.asp>].  This is because the encoded scripts contain tab characters -- which Tidy automatically converts into spaces.  This conversion corrupts the encoded script, which then fails to run under IE.

I searched for an option to turn off the tab-to-space conversion, but found none.  In fact, I found an assurance that my search was futile:  The documentation states categorically:  "Tidy never outputs tabs" [<http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html#tab-size>].

Is there any way around this problem?  If not, perhaps an option can be added to avoid it (i.e., an option to turn off tab-to-space conversion, at least in scripts)?

Thanks,

Moshe
