That format is essentially (sans the link syntax) what plaintext email has been looking like for decades. I don't get the whole praise for Gruber of "inventing" something novel. It's not.

But as long as the correct HTML is output it doesn't matter how it looks. I mean that's the whole idea of separating structure from representation, right?
