The build scripts generate HTML from XML using XSLT as you would expect. As
a final step they then put the HTML through the tidy process. I've been
wanting to get rid of this step for a while because I don't think it should
be necessary: someone added it because it was easier than fixing the source
XML and/or the stylesheets whenever the combination was found to generate
invalid HTML (which generally arises through problems of nesting paragraphs
within lists within paragraphs, etc.)
