"Every MD implementation would have to have two behaviours, set either
by a command line flag, a configuration file, or a preference if used
with a GUI. One behaviour would be the individual behavior so that
the followers of that implementation wouldn't be left in the lurch.
One would be the standard behavior."
I think the behavioral switch could be handled automatically if the
standardized version has its its own doctype declaration and profile
header. If the doc has the doctype declaration, then process the doc
as the standardized version of markdown; if not, then apply the
implementation's unique default processing.
If your idea of an improved Markdown is one that starts with a doctype, I'm
afraid it won't get very far (with users and implementers alike).
I completely agree with that statment. The power of markdown is that it
is simple and natural. It's not simple and even less natural to put a
doctype. Even a shebang would be too much if markdown is to be spread
among the general public.
