Actually, I like your double-tilde notation a lot better than my hyphen 
notation. It accomplishes much better what John set out to do, namely make 
something that looks like what it represents. And a tilde does look a lot like 
a scribble, which is a lot like what a strikethrough represents.

I don't much care for the parenthesis-laden notation, though. Doesn't quite 
look like what it represents as much as the double-tilde does.

I'd love to see Pandoc integrated with Movable Type. That'd be sweeeeeeet.
