I'm sorry but i'm not repeating myself, as for your questions and
others it was apparent that you were thinking on accessibility through
a User Agent and not via direct editing of the source. I see it
perfectly justified to ask for human readable source code being that
HTML is supposed to be able to be generated by any person.
"must" is a strong word yes, as strong as our commitment  for equal
accessibility for everyone, and I guess we as a group don't think that
accessibility is just "a matter of personal preference".
