I'd bet at least a small sum of money that "not beyond human
recognition" and "impede machine parsing" are, at this point,
non-intersecting sets. It's not even like they have to get it right on
the first try -- just generate a bunch of differnt "unmunges", and try
them. Or, more accurately, sell them to losers.
