Robert, if you will permit me, I would like to recast that into the form
of a question, jeopardy style.
The question is: what would the HTML5 serialization be for the DOM which
is internally produced by the script in the following HTML5 document?
http://intertwingly.net/stories/2006/12/02/whatwg.logo
Any takers?

P.S. That script, complete with indentation and readable variable
names, is still an order of magnitude smaller than
http://whatwg.org/images/logo
People could save bandwidth and reduce the number of HTTP requests (and
not have to worry about hotlinking!) by dropping this script into their
pages (of course, they could save even more bytes if there were a direct
HTML5 serialization of this DOM, hence the question.
P.P.S. I realize that not all browsers support this relative new
elements. It is my understanding that HTML5 will be introducing new
elements too.
