I wrote it to take care of the boring stuff of markdown syntax. Anyone willing to write a back-end with a different Markdown flavour just needs to concentrate of the differences between the original syntax.

I don't think this is a good idea, because it makes "ox-md.el" less neutral. That could get in the way of other back-ends. AFAIC, I think <title>...</title> or even <header>...</header> <main>...</main>, as you suggested, are better choices. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
