Hmmm re-reading my comment, it does seem to put blame on the page. However, I wouldn't expect relic of the past to be changed or maintained (cost obviously). It just came as a surprise that big wall of text couldn't be parsed by modern apps.

I expected modern parsers to be more clever. This article is a table like many webpages were in the first decade. Wondering how we can improve readability of such pages? May be the size of raw text ratio or something clever that considers how the page is rendered and extract key information.

Edit: Instapaper parsed it very well in the end!
