I'm actually somewhat skeptical that section numbering will survive Markdown, but we should at least give it a try. (And that's a non-trivial problem, since people refer to "Sec X(y)" fairly frequently in outside documents, so changing how those are rendered/presented is problematic; how those are handled also varies from Markdown implementation to Markdown implementation). Otherwise, I agree that standardizing on Markdown and providing machine-readable licenses would be ideal, and it is worth experimenting to see if this can be done.
