I would personally like to suggest a "do not fix" paramater.
That way the counts would become correct and possible
uses of Tidy would increase.

Okay. I just saw related topic to what I ealier

Hi, please don't hijack other threads. As far as I can tell, in Tidy,
problem reporting and correction are really tied together. You can just
ignore the fixed html (discard its output) if you don't need it.

The problems it can fix are usually reported as warnings, or not reported at
all in some cases.
