Plenty of errors, but I don't really care about them.  Just trying to get 
as much out of the HTML with as little manual work possible.

My point was that I instructed xmllint to output UTF-8 encoding.  But when 
I check the resulting XML, it _doesn't_ have valid UTF-8 encoding.  Does 
that mean that the

  --encode UTF8

parameter of xmllint just sets the encoding attribute in the <?xml 
processor directive?

Will have a look there.

The actual exact URL is http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ .  Thanks 
for the pointer!
