More portable in what way? Practically speaking, the W3 page is much more portably accessible to me than the ASCII version. I very often read things like this on my phone when e.g. on my commute, and on the screen size on a phone there is atrocious line wrapping that makes the text hard to read, and the illustrations entirely unreadable, while the HTML version renders perfectly.
In the sense that you don’t need a browser to view it properly, but I guess you’re right that phones have a disadvantage here. On the other hands, it’s questionable why mobile browsers can’t format this most simple format properly.

I actually think this ASCII style is quite nice, and most certainty more portable.
