This is exactly what I do at work, and I stress it.

Unreadable/unmaintainable code = garbage. It also makes it a huge pain finding typos as well, as spellcheck does not work on:

Code:
T<small>EH</small> O<small>CTPOUS</small> H<small>AD</small> E<small>IGHT</small> A<small>RMS</small>
While it will notice it if the code was:

Code:
<span class="smallcaps">Teh Octpous Had Eight Arms</span>
I have actual EPUBs if you would like to see the typo disasters due to this "smallcaps" problem.
