Isn't this akin to saying that the entropy is in the information itself,
not in the markup? There's no question that very complex information can
be represented by very simple markup. I don't see anyway to make general
statements about the value added (or obscured) by a given level of markup
complexity, especially without the context of an actual requirement.
