I'm not sure that the text was actually "composed", which may certainly 
be a large part of the problem.  I see no reason to assume that the 
author did not just sit down and start writing whatever came out of his 
pen.  I feel like this may be the key to both the large character set, 
and the low entropy.  Something like "written glossolalia", but without 
the "speaking in tongues" overtone.

Just a thought.
