Probably should depend on what implementers want. Were it up to me I'd
say ride with XHTML to minimize the tag soup problem. But that
battle's already been lost. (Long rant omitted.)

But to the extent we want to worry about the return trip, one general
approach might be to ask the relevant standard bodies to define a
markdown-compatible subset profile. By markdown-compatible, I mean the
core profile we develop.
