For their major gripe that point 13 is a pretty weak one. Text editors can present a Markdown document any way you want, and even a WYSIWYG editor is possible if you like that. Besides, Markdown fully supports alternate character encodings, not just ASCII (that would make Markdown really obsolete). Most people surely use UTF-8 for Markdown documents.
