[Peter Constable]

Markdown is a pain for the spec. It's just less of a pain than HTML.

Yes!  I think that the Markdown format is good enough for the specification; if necessary we could use Pandoc extensions (in addition to what GitHub provides), for example.

In case it is not sufficient there are easy solutions to improve formatting by adding proper comments here and there that a postprocessor script could handle.
