Actually, I think that illustration is necessary at some level but not sufficient. Try reading the SVG specification (which is heavily illustrated) and the HTML specification, which isn't, although it is in fact much simpler. For someone who doesn't read like the smartest 1% of the world I know which one I find more accessible.

As we hippify to pictures/touches/tastes we may get better but this round will be screen/print/spoken "text". Complementation is "desirable" but neither sufficient nor necessary - although our ruminative discourse about the latter will continue.
