HTML5 without these tags validates, since they are implied. Could you add an option to drop these tags?

Try "tidy --hide-endtags yes". Despite the name, I think it causes all optional tags to be omitted, including start tags.

Confirming that’s the case.

Would you document this and/or change the name so this is obvious?

Added http://w3c.github.com/tidy-html5/quickref.html#omit-optional-tags and rewrote http://w3c.github.com/tidy-html5/quickref.html#hide-endtags to read, "This option is an alias for omit-optional-tags."

Thank you.

One problem with this, in combination with -i, is that the indents are odd:

towolf@ovo:~$ tidy -i -w 80 firstblush.html  | head -n 22
line 9 column 1 - Warning: inserting implicit <body>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
  <title>firstblush</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="author" content="towolf">

Yeah, I see what you mean. I've never looked at the indenting code myself. Maybe somebody else will take an interest in it later. It seems to have a lot of quirks like the one you noticed.
