I think measuring "human-usable information" is a slippery slope. You'll start with just believing that only human-language text qualifies, but the definition can be pushed.

For example, "human-usable information" could be added by changing the color of certain words. If our site is meant to teach English, changing all nouns to the color green is useful and definitely "human-usable information," right? But how do you measure the amount of information it conveys?

It's ultimately very philosophically hard. This matters because a webapp's assets (images, styling, scripts) are as much a part of its content as the actual text on a page. But if you confine your definition to encompass only human-readable text, I don't think it's useful.
