They would just complain until we turned it back on.  Unless we left
it off for good, which might be reasonable, but then we'd have to
improve Sanitizer, I guess.  (Maybe once html5lib is more usable.)

This is not artificial.  Tidy serves a useful purpose.  It might be
less useful when we switch to HTML5, though -- my impression is that
we mainly use it so that our HTML validates, but our HTML5 won't
reliably validate in any case.
