While it certainly could be a useful thing for site administrators to do, it would be a terrible idea for mark to do, because it would slow down style and behavior modifications. If anything, the code needs to be clearer.

Reading through the article and comments, while this seems like a great idea, it might not flow well with some browsers out there. At least as far as gzipping the file goes.
