Difference between version and

The problem is more serious when one adds new features. For instance, if double-comma
is not included in Creole 1.0 and 40 million people begin using it for inline quotes, and
double-comma is added to Creole 2.0, it will be painful to upgrade.
Markup languages like XML or HTML are much safer, because character sequences reserved for
markup are well defined (elements, attributes and entities, that's about it) and a given version
can list them exhaustively.
What we could do with Creole is to list all sequences which are optional (such as double-underscore
for underlined text, single-lessthan for HTML, etc.) or reserved (double-dollar,
double-exclamation mark, or even plus or dollar at the beginning of a line), so everyone knows what
to escape to be safe.
This goes against [[ExtensibleByOmission]], but I agree with Gregor on its limits.
