Has Gruber opined on Seibel's (IMHO good) idea? If he claims he'd be OK with "Common Markdown", I'll have to revise my opinion of him in a much more favorable direction. (And, amusingly, Common Lisp is itself a standard, so perhaps "Common Markdown" would be enough to satisfy everyone.) If they called it "Syntaxx, [twenty more words that no one cares about]", no one will hear of it, and no one will use it. The words around "Markdown" might be negotiable; the presence of "Markdown" itself makes or breaks the viability of the project as a whole -- without that, Atwood et al. might as well not bother.
