You just highlighted problems of Markdown. HTML supports wide range of applications. Even basic HTML provided more semantic value. You can use it as for articles as for structured documentation. As it supports hierarchical structure + classes. And pure markdown is not structural and not extendable by design - essentially just a flat list of paragraphs. Yes, you may have some containers there like <blockquote> and <ol> but that's pretty much it. Why there are no sections or any other form of grouping content? Markdown has exactly the same problem as MS Word / Richtext - they are very good in WYSIWYG but are terrible in semantic. Markdown.Next shall be in the golden middle between HTML and current MD - with modularity built-in by design.
