It should be possible to pipe the text out to it in a HTMLPreProcess:
block. I haven't tried it, as I'm a bit tidy-phobic after it thoroughly
mangled a page on me once :(
Another possibility would be to produce HTML output from sitescooper, and
then tidy that -- might be handy to avoid problems caused by invalid HTML
which is irrelevant anyway (for example outside the StoryStart and
StoryEnd range).
