You should double check the html spec to see if <option> allows nested 
inline tags.  It might not and you'd have to abide by that limitation.  If 
it does, though, then that would be a bug in JTidy.  However, JTidy may 
very well be doing the right thing here.

Don't forget about the option of using XMLCUtil.findFirstText(Node) to get 
access to the text node regardless of nested tag structure.  the 
setTextTeacherOption(String) is probably still your best option, though.
