> Your own examples of tables, lists, and block quotes would look a lot better if they were, you know, actual tables, lists, and block quotes. I would agree with what you said about tables (which, in my experience, is an uncommon use case), but the rest can easily be rendered in plain text. Block quotes, in particular, could be done by indenting the text by several spaces (or a tab), just like it's done on HN.
