I'm not holding back. What I mean is that I'm not certain.

I can't think of anything to complain about in the proposal from
2005, except that I don't like this:

    Blah blah blah blah this is a
    paragraph of text.
    
    {#id_ref}


My gut feeling is that it'd have to be like this, with no blank
line:

    Blah blah blah blah this is a
    paragraph of text.
    {#id_ref}


But as for the rest, I'd have to try it and live with it for a
while before declaring it finalized. Markdown's original syntax
changed a lot from my original concept after I tried it out in the
real world.

So maybe the actual syntax will be exactly like this proposal. But
I can't say for sure until after it's implemented and I see how it
works.
