Most authors use the parser as a way of testing weather they have mark-up something correctly. We need to be careful that we agree how the parsers should work to keep consistency. I think it may be a good pattern to add this pattern IF people are using it naturally and its implemented uniformly across all the parsers. If not I think there is case to update the wiki to tell people not to use it.

You are right I do need document a some examples (a job for when I have a couple of spare hours). That said two of the hosted services have used it: Stack Overflow - http://careers.stackoverflow.com/klmr YIID - http://pfefferle.yiid.com/cv This worries me because both these authors took time to try and understand the spec and came up with the same "errant" pattern. Toby has already added this pattern to Swignition parser because he has seen it in the wild.
