IIRC, people have asked about having Tidy enabled on Wikia before, and were told it's not gonna happen. But, it's been some time since I saw anything written about this, so both my memory could be wrong about it, and Wikia's position might have changed since then. Having Tidy enabled would definitely be a boon for quite a few things across Wikia, though there's also the ever-present possibility that other things could break in new and exciting ways. =) So if you ask, and are told no (and no explanation is forthcoming), I would say that (probably in combination with Wikia not being interested in any potential additional maintenance overhead Tidy would bring) would be the most likely reason why.

If you hardcode  to 0, you might as well just remove the   tag altogether. There is a possibility that doing so could lead to some weirdness in certain browsers under certain conditions, but I can't see it as being anything more than extremely finicky and transient, and there's the roughly equal possibility that hardcoding  could lead to such issues as well, so while I personally would recommend just removing it, regardless of which you choose, just keep an eye out on how the templates behave on articles and an ear open for any whispers of problems other people might notice with it.
