How big's the document, overall? Personally, I use tidy on HTML files. Though you have to use it with some care. It'll remove character entities if they're ANYWHERE on the page in or *after* a PRE element. And mangles some other character entities, too (e.g. × can get translated into garbage). If I know I haven't used them in a document, I'll use tidy on it. It also tidies up a few silly authoring errors (like not closing p tags, etc.). -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
