A quick test (replacing tidy with /bin/cat) suggests that attributes are being
generated in uppercase, although I would agree with you that tidy ought to do
something when working in -asxml mode. :-)
For what it's worth, there's a new version of W3C tidy which does generate the
attributes in lower case and when used with docproj articles will validate
properly. The www/tidy-devel port isn't quite a drop-in workaround, because:
[ ... ]
/usr/local/bin/tidy -wrap 90 -m -raw -preserve -f /dev/null -asxml article.html
HTML Tidy: unknown option: p
HTML Tidy: unknown option: r
HTML Tidy: unknown option: s

...tidy-devel doesn't understand the -preserve option. Something like the
following, as www/tidy-devel/files/patch-console-tidy.c:
