Sorry to repeat myself, but for everyone who wants to use markdown to
markup scientific or bibliographic texts, the lack of subscript and
superscript in markdown is a real showstopper.

There are a lot of scientific disciplines that don't need fancy math
formatting and where italic, super/subscript and greek letters is all
that's needed.
