Yep. That it is. The bloat is MS Word namespace tags on every element.
I'd be embarrassed to write something like

<w:p w:rsidR="00E52FAC" w:rsidRPr="002C0BD1" w:rsidRDefault="00E52FAC" w:rsidP="007C075C">
 <w:pPr>
  <w:autoSpaceDE w:val="0"/>
  <w:autoSpaceDN w:val="0"/>
  <w:adjustRightInd w:val="0"/>
  <w:rPr><w:bCs/>
   <w:color w:val="000000"/>
  </w:rPr>
 </w:pPr>
</w:p>

(that's a paragraph tag with no content, apparently to provide a blank
line)
