Well, if you're happy, I'm happy, but the page you mentioned could still
take some going over. For example, it starts with
<B><FONT SIZE=5><P>Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR)
Bibliography</P>
</B></FONT>
which features misnested tags (and some questionable markup). Better:
<h1>Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR) Bibliography</h1>
styled per default or as you like.
Not as much of a size saving per effort-minute required (compared with
using HTMLTidy), but something to know about.
