An Observation

I don't really have much opinion on this discussion. It seems to me
that Gruber is happy with what Markdown does and doesn't see a need
for active work on the project. Certainly that torch has been taken up
by the many other implementations. His alleged response regarding
GitHub Flavored Markdown seems to indicate that he's content with this
development path.

However, if there was anything that did warrant him making at least
one final clear post regarding Markdown, his views on the project, and
some sort of direction or "blessing" regarding its future, it's his
Linked List post today: [Markdown is the new Word
5.1](http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/05/19/markdown-word-51).
