Such a sentence _without markup_ cannot be parsed by a human, so it's
useless when it doesn't have markup; I agree. But the author adds markup to
the sentence, so it becomes useful. I'ld like to emphasize that the author
doesn't parse anything (except his thoughts; and his thoughts are already
markuped:-)) when he adds markup to his sentence.
