But if you don't realize it's Tidy changing things, you may think it's Sigil doing it. Also, if you don't realize the changes and then save, you end up having to fix the mess. And if you've made a lot of changes and then see the mess Tidy made, you have two choices, keep your changes and the mess or keep neither. It's not good at all.

I think for now Tidy should be off by default and if it's turned on, a great big requester pop open saying that if you turn on Tidy, it WILL mess up ever sing XML file in your ePub.
