HTML Tidy will not modify a document when it encountered "errors" while
trying to parse the document unless you force Tidy to, as doing so might
corrupt the document. In your case the document uses elements that Tidy
is not familiar with, such as "fb:recommendations". If you do not care
that the document might end up corrupted, you can use the configuration
option `force-output` to force Tidy to modify the document.
