Automatic correction of invalid html is not going to change. It is the foundation of many robust features in Tweak Book. I find the entire idea of software that refuses to render html because it is not valid XML, ridiculous, it is simply too easy to generate non well formed XML. Fortunately, the larger web development community agrees with me, see HTML5. If ebooks had developed just a few years later, epub would have been based on HTML 5 instead of XHTML and everyone's life would have been a lot better. Remember that Tweak Book is not a epub 2 specific tool, unlike Sigil. Therefore, its fundamental design choices are not going to be limited by epub 2.
And note that auto-correction in Tweak Book is based on the HTML 5 parsing algorithm, therefore the result is exactly what you would get if you viewed the HTML in a browser (and ebook readers are all going to be based on browser engines in the future (indeed most of them already are)).
@arspr: Yes, like DTD, xml declarations are another pointless legacy appendage that serve no useful purpose other than specifying character encoding.
And I dont mind when people request features, as long as they in turn dont mind if I refuse to implement some of them. The thing that annoys me (and I suspect most developers) is an attitude that a few users have, that their feature request *must* be implemented or that the developer owes them some kind of detailed explanation as to why the feature wont be implemented.
