In this particular case it seems like we'd be creating a huge potential
for incompatibility between clients. If half the worlds bots support
restructured text and half support markdown, certainly clients only work
well with certain bots. I'd be curious to hear a bit about how that
could be mitigated if you have anything in mind.

In this case, what do you expect the client or service receiving the
message from the bridge to do with it? Would it render the markup
generated by Discourse? In that case, see my previous question about
compatibility and fragmentation among clients.
