I'm all for it. But wouldn't that compromise a lot of currently existing documents?

Probably.

One reason I've held off on major updates for so long is the idea that if I'm going to break compatibility with Markdown 1.0, it'd best to break it once, in multiple ways. Better for one Markdown 2.0 that breaks/changes/clarifies several things all at once than than a bunch of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 updates that break things here and there.

Plus, anything outright new, like tables, is by definition going to break compatibility with 1.0 implementations.
