Unfortunately, those docs are vague on a number of important questions (I'm not talking about corner cases). I've tried to list a few of them here: http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/faq.html#what-are-some-big-questions-that-the-markdown-spec-does-not-answer I hope you'll consider weighing in on some of these things and clarifying the official documentation. I don't see how this would prevent markdown from growing and thriving. It is frustrating for those who write in markdown to find that their documents get interpreted differently by different markdown processors. And it is frustrating for implementers not to know when something is a bug.
