It is crucial for everyone.

Having an HTML validator, like Tidy.exe, which generates errors
or warnings every time it encounters a UTF-8 sequence is
unnerving.  It's especially irritating when the validator
automatically converts each string making a single UTF-8
character into two or three HTML named entities.

If UTF-8 is needed in the HTML, and the HTML needs to be valid,
the user must make a back-up copy of the original HTML, run
the validator on the back-up, and then manually make corrections
to the source.  This is quite cumbersome and should really be
unneccessary.

HTML validators should only validate the HTML, that is the text
between the HTML brackets "<" and ">", and not affect the actual
text of the file.
