Of course, but in the future... I just tested tidy on html output of
texi2html and there are lots lots of errors and warnings. Making tidy quiet
doesn't change anything. All those issues have to be taken care of
in the future, but in the mean time, testing that changes in code don't
lead to new bugs. Prior of producing valid html ther are other bugs which 
should (in my opinion) be corrected (correct handling of @verb and 
@verbatim, proper nesting of macros extending on many lines, issue
with @unnumbered...).

Good idea. I will take care of that.
