There are others that have requested a superquiet option in JTidy (I
have made an internal version that does this), so this may be coming
up soon.

Could you please send examples of documents that choke JTidy (or Tidy)
either to me or to the html-tidy@w3.org list? Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, this is exactly the current goal. We
are in the process of removing the outdated DOM I/F from JTidy and
providing an interface to any SAX2-compliant parser (such as Xerces),
which allows the tool to be integrated to almost any processing chain.
