Universal syntax for Markdown

[Wander Nauta]

Hi Flo,

I think the idea is the 'classic' Markdown is also supposed to be the
universal one. If you want or need more features, you can choose one of the
many non-standard variants, but they are just that: non-standard variants.

I, for one, like Markdown as it is.

Cheers,
Wander
