The -preserve flag was added by phantom in tidy, it's not in the 
original tidy archive. And tidy-devel has no additional flag that can be

Exacly, this is the problem...it's not possible to let tidy convert all 
entities into numerical or named entities because it doesn't understood 
particular charset encodings, and so the conversion would be wrong.
