It's not Tidy, it's XSLT :-)
Take a copy stylesheet with indent="yes".

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" /> <!-- here's the trick -->

<xsl:template match="*">
   <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
      <xsl:apply-templates />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="comment()|processing-instruction()">
   <xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Saxon, LotusXSL and Oracle do the job quite well.
XT doesn't indent.

A problem could be the handling of text nodes with Saxon.

Regards,
Oliver
