I guess? I agree that parsing out the articles and rendering them in the HTML would make it more readable. But the author didn’t just throw together Win95 and Encarta in a VM and call it a day, there are subtle tweaks here so I think calling it “human slop” is incorrect.

(For example, there’s some URL magic going on -- articles you open show up in the fragment portion, e.g. #/article/Art -- which is non-trivial considering you have to pass that information into the VM and back.)
