You could possibly be right, on these points.

I think, HTML Tidy is used by XalanJ tests codebase, to construct a
org.w3c.dom.Document object from an HTML document (produced by certain
XalanJ tests). It seems that, certain XalanJ tests uses these
org.w3c.dom.Document objects to do XML document tree comparisons to
compare expected XSLT transform results with actual XSLT transform
results.

I've a feeling that, it may be hard to fix XalanJ tests error messages
like "[xalantest] line 1 column 157 - Error: <append> is not
recognized!", by trying to solve this with HTML Tidy.

According to HTML Tidy's web site (https://github.com/jtidy/jtidy),
which says "Checkout v.Nu validator for a possible modern replacement"
(whose link is https://about.validator.nu/htmlparser/) at the bottom
of its page. I think, we could explore using v.Nu validator to fix
these issues, that we've been discussing within this thread.

I'm just curious, should we try, doing these improvements on XalanJ
tests implementation (for e.g, trying to use v.Nu validator with
XalanJ tests) and then release XalanJ 2.7.3 with these fixes, or
should we explore these fixes after we've released XalanJ 2.7.3?

Having explored the XalanJ tests codebase up to now, I don't think,
integrating v.Nu validator with XalanJ tests, should be a big hassle.
But that, should take few more days, to complete doing these fixes.

@ Gary and others, do you as well, have any thoughts on these points?
