Eh, XML is a machine-readable generic markup language. Why would you prefer using a less powerful format like markdown in a context like message representation?

  Less powerful also means less complex and less exploitable. You can very easily grab a markdown renderer rather than trying to decode a .docx for messages. Pretty much no messaging apps let you create messages more complex than markdown anyway.

    From a security perspective, I prefer a widespread commonly used XML parser over your custom parser for markdown extensions.
