It's not about standardizing variants, at least not actively. The problem I'm 
trying to solve is much simpler. I find it hard to do anything in PHP Markdown 
without somewhat worrying that it might conflict with something else already in 
use. I don't have the time to write a standardized Markdown spec (although 
perhaps Roopesh has), but I'd like to avoid making things worse.

I guess if an announcement was posted here whenever an implementation makes a 
significant syntax change (like a new feature) it'd help fight against 
fragmentation, even if no one is actively working on a spec. It does not even 
have to be an official announcement, just a "Hey, HisGreatMarkdownParser added 
this feature last week" message from someone who noticed would do the trick. Or 
is there a *Markdown News* site I don't know about tracking this kind of things 
already?

I don't know about you, for me I think it'd help take better decisions. Right 
now I'm relying on Babelmark 2 to know what others are doing, but that's only 
good for checking specific things. I miss the big picture. I feel like no one 
really grasp the big picture because all the information is scattered all 
around.

Perhaps I'm just startled I didn't notice before about everyone who implemented 
Github-style fenced code blocks. But I do wonder what I should have been doing 
to notice that earlier. Despite having read every messages on this list since 
its creation, I suddenly feel completely out of touch with Markdown. That's the 
problem I'd like to have a solution for.

P.S.: Why is MultiMarkdown not on Babelmark 2?
