I tried to verify our generated html with jtidy, but it reports too
many "false alarms" (e.g. usage of % in td/th width).

Anyone knows of a better verifier that can be used programmatically in
unittests ?

The w3c validators are normally the best bet, but they tend to be
online tools rather than programmatic ones.  They are open-source
though, so it may be possible to integrate into unit tests.

tried to look at them but they were a big mesh of perl code or worse so
not really "managable" :)

Regarding the jtidy warnings, they are normally fair points...

well, they have an outdated specific test for not using % in th and td with attribute.
It is understood by all browsers today.

... and can be
fixed by moving to clean XHTML and CSS.  I was contemplating the work
involved when reformatting the templates, and it wouldn't be too hard.
 It'd be nice to move away from HTML4 and fully utilise CSS, but I
wasn't sure what your minimum requirements are.

Any HTML/CSS that looks good on IE, FireFox and Opera (and are simple to generate) is my minimum requirements ;)
