Package: tidy
Version: 20091223cvs-1
Severity: normal
"tidy -asxhtml -utf8 --add-xml-decl yes" doesn't specify the encoding.
The consequence is that the XML processor cannot reliably determine
the encoding at that time. For instance, libxml2 will assume that the
output encoding should be US-ASCII (though it will be able to read
UTF-8 sequences as required), so that
echo é | tidy -asxhtml -utf8 --add-xml-decl yes | xmllint -
gives:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

é
</body>
</html>
See the "é" that has been written as a character reference due to the
absence of declared encoding.
Note that the behavior of xmllint won't change:

Version: 2:5.8.0-1
I am closing all the bugs that had been filled before 5.8.0 upstream version
that are **upstream** issues.
If the bug that you've reported can still be found in 5.8.0, please retest this,
make sure that the upstream bugs are actually filled upstream and reopen
the bug in Debian BTS and correctly set the "forwarded" attribute on the
issue.
