None of that implies that the FORMATTING of the code is relevant. At all. It
has never been my experience that how the text file is formatted is relevant to
a search engine, nor how it realistically could be.
<html><head><title>Foobar</title></head>
looks exactly the same to a search engine as
<html>
<head>
<title>
Foobar
</title>
</head>

Which is great and welcome news. But what I replied to was your assertion that
using a tool like tidy would make Google happy. I do not believe that is true.
