I couldn't agree more.
text and files are just encoding and packaging. We routinely represent
the same information in different ways during different stages of a program or
system's lifecycle in order to obtain advantages relevant to the processing
problems at hand. In the past, it has been

at all. It'd also make the parsing simpler :)
