Yeah, I was wondering about this. Is he advocating turning the entire web into a text file? How does that even work with content rich websites like twitter or facebook or JS-necessary sites like your favorite music/video streaming site? Yes, encoding text with other technologies to increase the user's experience is going to make your file size bigger, but who cares?
