Indeed, dev use is my sole intention.  Although it could be useful on  
very high volume sites were page weight is critical.

Possible I could adapt this to mod_perl2.  Thanks!

mod_tidy looks like a dead project.  I tried to install it last week  
against apache 2.2.6 on macpro and it barfed on server start even  
though it compiles clean:

httpd: Syntax error on line 117 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:  
Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_tidy.so into server: dlopen(/usr/ 
libexec/apache2/mod_tidy.so, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:\n 
\t/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_tidy.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
