I wonder if it's even necessary to get Gruber's blessing. That is, if the spec laid down a few principles from which Gruber created markdown (which he's pretty explicit about in his web-available markdown stuff), then we could have the "spirit of Gruber" in a policy-sense and not have to rely on him to do anything (although he'd be welcome to comment).
