I just don't see much of any improvement of markdown over LINK2.

Unfortunately, there's really no such thing. But as I said, we do have an 
advantage as Ddoc will not likely be importing existing markdown text from 
elsewhere, so there's little impetus for compatibility. There's no point to 
supporting multiple unordered list syntaxes, for example.

Ddoc already does code blocks and syntax highlighting.

The problem with these is where are the images stored? So no.
