no.   it might be 7-bit ascii (which might fit _your_ definition),
but it sure as heck ain't readable (which is _my_ definition)...

that's what all the non-believers say.   i think they're wrong.
i think markdown in its current form does a very good job.

right now, the chain is markdown -> xhtml -> browser display.
let's eliminate the middle step by incorporating it into the browser.
