It’s harsh but reasonable language in my opinion. If you are going to make something which is not Markdown (i.e. has other bits of syntax not specified in John's description of that language), then you should call it by a name other than “Markdown”.

That's my point exactly.

And for those of you who think Markdown is "stagnating", I have web server logs that show otherwise. Do I wish that I'd made more time by this point to do an official 1.5 or 2.0 release? Yes. But the current version, as-is, is *gaining* popularity.

Something called "Markdown" on CPAN, which has *my* name on it (because the original Text::Markdown was based on my work, and was in fact "Markdown", makes things worse.
