Well, a dearly departed programmer is a 'body', so, to directly answer the question:
No. ;)

Yeah, but this is a better formatted version!
That, and hitting on multiple fronts.... ;)

Reason for my vote of 5
Article starts with a question addressing the crux (critical/central point) of the issue, has a "crux of the answer" answer, short-and-to-the-point read, doesn't claim to have the best ever version, but that it meets a good need, and, well, "gets the job done".

Sean, the removal of the (limited) xml comments is, well, "inconceivable"!
Are you implying that the name of the functions and parameters therein are 'self-documenting'?
Otherwise, I see no reason to remove them and all the better reason to include them for sake of general API consideration/documentation.

Several major websites have discovered this ability already.
FinancialTimes.com
(FT) is one of them.
They had an iOS app on the App Store, free download. You merely paid for content (a subscription) via an In-App purchase; of which 30% of that "subscription" cost (in-app purchase) goes to Apple.
So, they went total HTML5, pretty much like you've shown.
Here's the result:
- FT subscriber based dropped by 12 percent initially; mostly out of subscriber confusion (which app to use...)
- FT temporarily lowered the yearly subscription rate by 15%; still at the lower rate
- FT realized an immediate 43% increase in subscription income; Follow this math: of every $1.00 (one dollar), $0.30 (thirty cents) goes to Apple leaving $0.70 (seventy cents) income to FT. That is to say, since FT no longer goes through Apple, that $0.30 is now back in FT's pocket. Fiscal folk know that the $0.30 back into FT's pocket translates to a 43% revenue increase (30/70=.0428, or 43% increase
- FT's subscriber base is now 30% more than a year ago.

Not exactly a "quickset"

This "QuickSet" isn't exactly a "quick" read.
A better layout/format would be helpful. Things such as bullet areas, putting key words in bold; use definition-like formatting (e.g., kinda like in a dictionary ==== Word/Phrase: Definition/purpose).
If I were to post an alternate, it'd be like such, but that's WAAY too much to try and achieve.
I think it's too long a read to be titled a "QuickSet". For some good examples, take a look at the titles of articles I wrote. Oh, wait, I've not written any ...I'll hush up!

What works best is to use Safari v5+ for reading an article (such as this one) and click the "Reader" button in the link bar.
With the article now displayed sans most ads (e.g., just the article), triple-click the first paragraph and hold the mouse down on the final click.
This will select the entire first paragraph.
With mouse still down, drag the selection (cursor) to the end of the article, the copy, then paste where you'd like....
I paste into a word processor to make the font bigger/the size I see without reader glasses (..ya, I'm getting old...) >sigh<
