Hello 
It works very well.
My little contribution.

1. You dont need to add <xml></xml> to your documents.
Just use
#tidy -m -i -xml foo.sgml

2. Tidy will add <?xml version="1.0" ?>
as the first line of your document.

To extract that line, you have several options :).

My option.
If you are using a UNIX OS, you  can use sed.
You can use runsed, a script from UNIX Power Tools book (www.
ftp.oreilly.com/published/oreilly/power_tools/unix/split/runsed

runsed is a script that helps you to run sed in many files without needing to
rename them. 

You have to create a file called 
sedscr
in the directory where you will run runsed. This file will contain the
instructions to applies to the input files.

An Example, indent the test.sgml file.

Original test.sgml:

[15:13][magnus@magnus sgml]$ cat test.sgml
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">
<article>
<sect1>
<title>Teste</title>
<sect2>
<title>Teste title sect2</title>
<subtitle>teste subtile sect2</subtitle>
<para>Para</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Teste title sect2</title>
<subtitle>Teste subtitle sect2</subtitle>
<para>Para</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
</article>

Run tidy:

[15:14][magnus@magnus sgml]$ tidy -i -m -xml test.sgml
[15:14][magnus@magnus sgml]$ cat test.sgml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">
<article>
  <sect1>
    <title>Teste</title>
    <sect2>
      <title>Teste title sect2</title>
      <subtitle>teste subtile sect2</subtitle>
      <para>Para</para>
    </sect2>
    <sect2>
      <title>Teste title sect2</title>
      <subtitle>Teste subtitle sect2</subtitle>
      <para>Para</para>
    </sect2>
  </sect1>
</article>

Remove first line of test.sgml using runsed script.
Create the file sedscr, with the options for sed.
sedscr will remove the first line of the input file. (1d)

[15:14][magnus@magnus sgml]$ cat sedscr
1d
[15:15][magnus@magnus sgml]$ runsed test.sgml
runsed: editing test.sgml:
runsed: done with test.sgml
runsed: all done
[15:16][magnus@magnus sgml]$ cat test.sgml
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">
<article>
  <sect1>
    <title>Teste</title>
    <sect2>
      <title>Teste title sect2</title>
      <subtitle>teste subtile sect2</subtitle>
      <para>Para</para>
    </sect2>
    <sect2>
      <title>Teste title sect2</title>
      <subtitle>Teste subtitle sect2</subtitle>
      <para>Para</para>
    </sect2>
  </sect1>
</article>

If you have a lot of files to indent I belive this is a solution, because you
can use tidy and runsed with pattern matching.

Hope that helps.
