Markdown Extra Specification (First Draft)

[Michel Fortin]

It took much more time than I expected, and it is currently less  
complete than I have hoped, but I've finaly made a first draft of the  
Markdown Extra spec. You can find it at <http://michelf.com/specs/markdown-extra/ 
 >

Currently, the specification defines its goals and a document model  
for Markdown Extra. It lacks the most important part though: the  
parsing section, which I'm going to write next. As I update the  
document locally on my computer, I'll update the public specification  
page to always reflect the latest version.

I'm working on this on my free time, alongside a full-time job, a few  
other projects, and other duties. I'm hoping to have a draft of the  
parsing section covering all parts of the syntax by July, and to have  
completed the whole specification by 2009. I'm not sure of how  
realistic this timetable is, but we'll see.

To take part in this work, simply leave your comments, suggestions,  
and potential issues on this list, or send them to me by private email  
if you don't want your comment to be public for some reason.
