It's a lot less pretty to read - it look like a cat threw up to be
specific. The point of the Document is to read it quickly in the kernel

And I wouldn't exactly call that pretty. There is no value add
over a simple text file here, and it requires a browser to not look
ugly instead of a text editor, which is a giant usablity regression.
