That's the first time I see that extension.

If I were to invent an unambiguous extension, I'd probably base it on  
the words "Markdown-Formatted Text" or more simply "Markdown Text"  
instead of the words "Markdown Markup Language" which just seems  
strange. For instance, a file finishing with ".mdtext" would seem  
more inviting to read to me than ".mdml" or even just ".md" or  
".markdown", especially if I didn't know what Markdown is as I can  
easily guess from the extension that it contains some kind of text.
