I'm intrigued - the only point in that last sentence that differentiates the
"indecipherable gobbledygook" from the inline POV is that the latter "yields a
greatly superior output image". It's certainly no less invisible to the
end-user, nor easier to learn.
So really the only difference I see between the two is that the former provides
useful information for authors & reviewers, and the latter provides useful
information for end-users. And I don't see why one person can't have a different
view on each, just as you do. So what's the point of the argument?
I'm sure the debate would be much more useful if we stuck to the merits of each,
rather than pointing fingers at each other.
