text/markdown draft-03 guide (and use-cases-00 guide)

[Sean Leonard]

Hello Markdown World:

The following Internet-Drafts are about to be posted:

draft-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown-03
draft-seantek-text-markdown-use-cases-00

As discussed in apps-discuss at ietf.org: to make the drafts shorter yet more informative, I split them in two. The secondary document has seven additional syntax registrations, background information, and preservation strategies. The main registration document registers the media type. They are meant to be read together; however, the secondary document makes no normative statements (no RFC 2119 key words).
