But the test file is in XHTML and it is an error in this specification.

I stand corrected. Unfortunately, Tidy is not the perfect HTML validator
but still does a pretty good job for a small library.

Luckily, there are recent efforts to add HTML 5 support to Tidy. I am
monitoring these developments and will update DITidy as the code base
matures.

Interestingly, HTML 5 allows to omit the</p>  end tag in certain situations:

I have just tested the </p> problem with original HTML Tidy and it also does not report any errors or warnings, but it FIXES the missing tag nonetheless (with the -f option). 
So it seems to me this is some trivial error which should be easy to fix.
