Cannot tidy files of type socket

Since tidy does not have a parameter for directories or files to ignore,
and there's no option to specify the types of files to consider, is
there any way short of hacking the code to eliminate these errors?

I don't think so.

I basically threw that failure in there because I wasn't sure what the behaviour should be for anything other than the standard file types. It'd be pretty easy to fix tidy to behave appropriately if you can describe how it should actually behave.
