As the implementer of Python-Markdown (the most popular python
implementation by far with many thousands of downloads - no way to
know how many users) I would have to agree completely with Michel

No.
The patent policy is not to patent things. It is to protect technologies
against patents. This is the opposite :)

The Patent Policy already exists for Working Group. You do not need to create
one, but you need to follow it once the work is ad
Paul,
I haven't kept up with the W3C policies in a long time -- do you need a
"patent policy" now to get a Rec? If so, I, and I doubt JG and many,
probably most others on this list would even give a hoot. :)

It is not.
Community Groups are groups that *anyone* can start about a topic related to

Hi Paul,
First, thank you for coming on this list. Secondly, I'm glad to see
Markdown even being considered by the W3C for standardization. John Gruber
-- even if he isn't -- should be proud. His idea was genius.
That said, the original Markdown has no concept of class and id attributes

For the purposes of this effort, this question seems irrelevant, based

One of the last times this issue came up, I contacted the developers of a
couple of other implementations off list to gauge their interest for such an
undertaking. The reception was luke warm at best.
This would be a fairly big project, if done properly
Karl: From the response previously on this list it will be a hard
sell. I think you will need to contact the owner of every MD
implementation individually and talk them into it.
As I've mentioned before on this list, the key is to recognize that
there are differences in MD implementations and be
FYI,
There was an interest from a few people to create a formalization of Markdown
as it is currently implemented.
A W3C Community Group has been created for moving forward and exploring the
