Surely is, with all that redundance in the 'mso' style tags. You see,
this garbage is intended to solve MS Office's problems of
interoperability, not to produce anything convenient or suitable for
the Web. (In fact, if you check the source code for the page, you can
see a META element saying it was generated by "Microsoft Word 10".)
The right way to HTMLize it would be something like
<pre class="music abcnotation"
title="ABC notation of A. A. Cameron's Strathspey in A Mix">
<code>
X:1
T:A. A. Cameron's
M:4/4
L:1/8
R:Strathspey
K:A Mix
|:eA3 A4 B3Gd3B|eA3 A4 d3g (3f2e2d2|eA3 A4 B3Gd3B|
% And so on ...
</code>
</pre>
(Of course, you'd have to substitute & < and > for any & <
and > characters respectively in the source. Defining presentation
of the ABC segment would be simply a matter of defining a style for
a CODE element which is a child of a PRE element with classes 'music'
and 'abcnotation' set. It would also be straightforward to parse.)
Maybe the standard should state (or at least recommend) how ABC source
code should be embedded in HTML/XML.
