To make myself plain (in case I didn't before) I strongly disagree with 
this approach.

I agree with Mike et al that DDoc should support as much standard 
Markdown as is possible modulo conflicts with DDoc features. I'm willing 
to do the work (and indeed have done most of it already), and as I've 
explained before I believe the downsides are few and well mitigated.
