It's not too hard to measure what might be considered a "minimal" page, if he means simple, uncluttered web pages. Here is what you do; number-of-CSS-blocks + number of images + javascript-dependencies + some magic function involving unique HTML elements in pages = minimal# The lower the minimal# the better. You can also throw in some weight products as well, to skew the results and penalize specific components (say flash=1000, gif=300, java-applet=1000, real-media=2000, etc.)
