This seems vaguely akin to the discovery that most of the mass-energy of a proton is the binding energy holding it together. If we found that the mass of the quarks was also in fact binding energy we might end up with something that was actually made of massless particles plus the energy holding them together (or perhaps of nothing at all holding itself together...)
