I find it takes several passes of tidy sometimes to clean up all it can:

really-awful.html --> tidy --> better.html
better.html       --> tidy --> much-better.html
much-better.html  --> tidy --> oh-so-much-better.html

tidy has a flag to tidy up a file in place. That might be more elegant for
making several passes on a file if you are not interested in comparing the
diffs for each pass.

As a post filter for Groff you may want to put tidy in a loop and iterate
until two successive error logs are identical, assuming the life span of
the universe doesn't expire first.

-P -g seems to help.

I need to get more experience before commenting much further.
