I like the idea of keeping the presentation out of the content, but keeping it in the character encoding. It's a cool idea. Never thought of it before reading this.

It's an old idea, as old as at least CGA. Text modes used one byte for attributes, one byte for ascii. But it's still markup and compressing markup into binary is a bad idea in the era of 48-bit address bus.
Thank you for the history lesson! :)
