It will happen some day.

Even if I hadn't said/implied it, the "make it optional" feature would be an obvious alternative to those with open minds who gave it any thought, as would the implementations you mentioned. If PerlTidy is good to have on your own machine, it's good to have here as a web application. It would be easy and free too, both for users and for the head monks who create the feature. In fact, it would attract more visitors and donations. It would also make people more aware of how to use PerlTidy and how useful it is and more people would put it on their own computers, especially if the proper restrictions on it's use on PerlMonks are in place.
