I'm not trying to be confrontational, but this sort of comment isn't
constructive. Are you saying (a) that definition lists don't belong in
Markdown at all? Or (b) that the proposed definition list syntax ideas
aren't simple enough?

I disagree with both (a) and (b), but it's difficult to refute you
since I don't know what it is that you think is too complex.
