One of the reasons for bad HTML is that browsers render it as users expect. tidy is designed to be used server side to take drafts, e.g. from broken authoring tools, and convert them into valid HTML. If everyone has tools that make bad HTML viewable, there is no incentive to serve good HTML in the first place, and every incentive to exploit every new, undocumented, browser feature. If you use Amaya as an editor, and its fixup of the page is unacceptable, it would seem reasonable to run something like tidy separately. However, why are you not authoring in Amaya in the first place?
