popcapgames used the same method of running the source through luasrcdiet to make it near impossible to read, and they had to send each version to blizzard unobfuscated to verify the code was not doing anything bad (or so popcap claimed at the time). Plus if you look at the questing variables it's clearly encoded and unreadable.

I am not sure why, but I think they try to compress the filesize by doing that, again it's kind of unnecessary.

We'll have a talk with the Blizzard UI dev team again about it incase their stance has changed. I just know it was approved by them in the past.
