The 2nd convention is the correct way forward. 1st one should be
removed (but still applies to source code).

I have a WIP script to convert all our existing Markdown to the 2nd
convention, but ensuring there are no edge cases is nontrivial. Is
your progress is blocking on a complete conversion? If so I'm happy to
move it up on my to-do list.
