What intrigues me on something markdown ish (albeit probably something more than Styling currently has to offer) are its limitations. Particularity no color (that will never work in a federated environment where you don't know the design language and color scheme of the receiving application) and the lack of tables and such (tables will never work if you don't know the size of the displaying device) If we want to go with something more xml~ish I would prefer to annotate meaning (headline, importance, et al) instead of the availibilty of color and absolute font sizes and font family was something that annoyed me the most in XHTML-IM (despite the security flaws in the implementations)
