By fulfilling the second goal you make it easier for users to write the same kind of markdown on different sites or copy-paste between sites, thus fulfilling the first goal.
- buro9 12y agoWhen it's decision time, one of those goals will override the other. For a lot of cases it may be true that fulfilling the second fulfils the first. But crucially, not for all cases. They are not equal goals, one does not fully imply the other (in either direction). Yes, a better balance could be struck than today... but if the second goal is trumping the first... the users will suffer.
