@wycats The argument is modification of core Markdown, but I've yet to see a list of these changes. I've just noticed the triple backticks.

@mex What is the problem with the modification of the original loosely defined markdown? Popular things grow popular extensions. And? -
@wycats You said it yourself. Extensions. The standard is incorporating extension syntax into core. -
@mex Are you personally getting worked up about the fact that standardizing markdown included popular extensions? -
@mex One of the general goals of standards is to write down defacto standards so people know what to implement for content compat. -

@wycats It's about not naming a flavor of markdown "the" standard. The babe makes that ambiguous. -
@tobie The goal of standards is to write down all of the popular features needed for content compatibility so you know what to implement. -
@wycats that's fine, but it's explicitly disallowed by the license. Live with it. -
@tobie The license is a copyright license for software.

@wycats For some it's simply an excuse to reference (incorrectly, imo) "Worse is Better" -
@gaustin Worse is Better is an adoption strategy. It's a mistake to apply its reasoning to continued maintenance. -
@wycats And now I see your tweets to Gruber on the topic. Ignore me. -
@gaustin I don't understand the WiB argument here. "Once people are hooked on it, take the time to improve it to 90% of the right thing"

@wycats it’s just about the name. I believe more people prefer "Markup" over "Markdown". - 1 more reply
