IETF text/markdown draft-05

[Sean Leonard]

Hi Markdown world,

A month ago, the fifth draft of the IETF text/markdown work, 
"draft-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown-05", was published.

Additionally, a companion document regarding text/markdown use cases 
(including how to label Markdown variants when the text/markdown media 
type is not in use, e.g., by using filenames) was published about three 
weeks ago. See "draft-seantek-text-markdown-use-cases-01".

If you are interested, please comment here or on the IETF apps-discuss 
mailing list. I am monitoring both.

Overall the volume of comments dropped precipitously on the IETF mailing 
list, indicating (to me) that people don't have many nits with it. The 
text in both cases has been drastically simplified, so it's much shorter 
and more straightforward.

Regards,

Sean
