This seems to punish, and thus ultimately remove from perlmonks data of any value
Only if you assume that XP is what people come here for. And that XP not reflecting value is punishment.
Let's put the question on its head: in addition to and apart from those nodes with "informational value approaching 0", are you content with the "value" of PerlMonks in general? Ignore XP for a moment: I'm asking for *your* subjective judgement. To me it seems that PM is a long way from having its value removed; and I haven't seen any evidence that it is lessening.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
