Best idea in the article, and I'm going to try it out later today:
We should start to standardize how agents use HTTP APIs directly. For example, agent clients could attach headers to identify themselves as agents, and servers could automatically send them response data as Markdown or text instead of HTML or verbose JSON.
I honestly never really thought much about this, but there is a level of awesome to it especially when it makes zero sense to have 50 words of text accompanied 6.5MB of markup, scripts and styles. The experiment went well... and it worked extremely well.
