Doing

# equery u htmltidy
[ Searching for packages matching htmltidy... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend    : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ]
[           : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for app-text/htmltidy-4.8.6 ]
 U I
 - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
 + + doc   : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
 + + xml   : Check/Support flag for XML library (version 1)

So I discover that htmltidy uses the XML flag. This flag is related to the dev-libs/libxml package, I think, but this library is not required by htmltidy.

Expected Results:  
Renaming the use flag for htmltidy

The xml USE flag is not strictly tied to libxml. The description is now: "Add support for XML files".
In htmltidy's cace is installs html2db which converts an XHTML source document into a Docbook output document (i.e., XML).
So the meaning is preserved.

Then this bug was related to a wrong description of the xml USE flag ;-)

Thanks for your answer.
