#2It becomes readable again if you turn off CSS, too. I use this bookmarklet to disable all stylesheets.
javascript:(function(){for(i=0;x=document.styleSheets[i];++i)x.disabled=true;})();

#4I'm reading it using a text only w3m browser and it looks perfect.
Charset and indentation is exactly right
Links and comment structure stands out well
It renders the entire page instantly
Its a truly "static" web-page because things stay where they should be instead of being a 1990's geocities site with elements jumping around like fleas on methamphetamine.
I highly recommend text only browsing if you are a serious computer user. JavaScript, style-sheets and almost about everything about the modern browsing experience is little but a bloody nuisance and impediment to real work.
