Taking a pause from all the drama. AsciiDoc is really close to Markdown, is well specified and has a lot of features that are missing from MD like tables and footnotes.

Github supports that format out of the box and http://asciidoctor.org/ http://asciidoctor.org/ also has browser extensions to do live rendering of your local files.
