Right, that's how 3987bis defines it:
running text: Human text (paragraphs, sentences, phrases) with
syntax according to orthographic conventions of a natural
language, as opposed to syntax defined for ease of processing by
machines (e.g., markup, programming languages).
I'm suggesting only that we be consistent about our terminology.
