Dave Raggett's "HTML Tidy": http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ Not just for HTML -- you can also use it to clean up XML.

I don't understand -- why will they be generating poorly formed XML? What authoring application will they use? You won't need Tidy or anything else if they author with a validating editor, which will _prevent_ them from generating poorly formed or invalid document instances. That's what validating editors are for. You may get better feedback -- and general suggestions about working with document authoring teams -- if you post your question to the XML-Doc mailing list, which focuses specifically on authoring issues. E-mail a blank message to xml-doc-subscribe@e... or visit: http://www.egroups.com/group/xml-doc/ Among the 1000+ subscribers on the list, I'm certain you'll get a reply from someone who has dealt with an authoring situation similar to yours -- someone who can provide insight that could help you.
