Huh? There are lines with
* Overview
...
** Linux host drivers
...
in that file, sure. But I'd hardly call that "loaded to the gills with markup crap".
If the file was had any amount of XML or XHTML2, that would be markup crap. But some Twiki style ascii markup is hardly a problem -- it looks just fine when viewed in a text reader.
