I would have preferred simpler xml validation too, in fact that is what I tried first. In the end I failed with that approach because the WTForms library that we use only outputs HTML5 and has no way to produce XHTML, thus resulting in unclosed <input> tags without an good way to fix it. So various pages with forms on them will fail xml validation right now.

So the best thing I could find was the tidylib/tidy-html5 combination.
