I got it. I don't know why this works, but I put the normalize command
inside a try/catch loop in hopes of getting better debugging information.
It ran fine. I deleted the catch and it still ran as expected. At this
point, I'm claiming the win.
```
tell application "Safari"
set sourceCode to source of document 1
end tell
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
make new text window with properties {contents:sourceCode, source
language:"HTML"}
select insertion point before character 1 of text window 1
optimize
format mode gentle hierarchical with normalizing tag case
try
normalize line endings of text window 1
end try
copy time of (current date) to latest
save text document 1 to file ("Macintosh HD:Users:greg:Desktop:tossme-" &
latest & ".html")
end tell
```
