the -asxml implies well formed xml rather than xhtml.

<quote>output-xml: bool 
If set to yes, Tidy will use generate the pretty printed output writing it
as well-formed XML. Any entities not defined in XML 1.0 will be written as
numeric entities to allow them to be parsed by an XML parser. The tags and
attributes will be in the case used in the input document, regardless of
other options. </quote>

output-xhtml is the option for xhtml output.
