Here is the link: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-discuss Overall the IETF process is more open than the W3C, namely due to differing IPR policies. That being said, do review the Note Well before posting. With this said, I also posted to markdown-discuss@six.pairlist.net, and it seems there is a lot of discussion there.

As stated, my purpose in writing the text/markdown media type (other than that "it's obvious" and "people are already labeling their content with text/x-markdown, so why don't we get rid of the x-") is simply to standardize on the label, not the specification. I consider the syntax specification as out-of-scope for the (proposed) IETF work. However, if the IETFers like it at the meeting, the scope could grow. -Sean
