But not current web CSS, please. It manages to be simultaneously overcomplicated (including enabling fingerprinting) and really bad at laying out text (e.g. still no baseline grid). A ‘markdown web’ style sheet should be more like document processor's character/paragraph styles. It also needs to be easily overridden for accessibility or alternate presentation, particularly around size and colour (a markdown-like format should already be fine for screen readers without styling). Aside: FFS, web people, if you're setting colours at all, respect @prefers-color-scheme and do not use the inverse for code blocks.
There's also the million-markdowns problem, and markdown's HTML embedding. This being Tuesday, I'd start with djot (without embedding), but Wednesday I might go for asciidoc.
