i threw it in as a response to the question, "what is code bloat?"

since i knew so many people take their editors personally, and
since specific examples were outside of my grasp, i suggested
using Word HTML output as an *example* of bloated code, not as
an example of WYSIWYG... this way no users of other editors
would waste their or my time jumping in with unnecessary
defenses of their tool...

i thought i had qualified it clearly enough within that post, but
clearly some people have missed the point...
