I never trust any tools and _never_ my head, so I tested what the
browsers could take and how they reacted on it.
IE6 complains when given values below 910, while others were ok with as
low as 890.
So ... I gave each of them the lowest they could take, after comparing
with your self-shrinking original.
IE6 probably has a white-space problem, but I didn't bother to look further.

That's what HTML Tidy turned them into at my end.
I don't decorate my source-code with comments, so Tidy rarely ever get a
chance to correct them.

Me too.
You get what you ask for in this market-oriented world, so maybe you're
not asking for the right thing in your country..?
