It's a step in the right direction, but in my humble opinion is light on courage.

I think "bold and italics should //be" should be "bold and italics should //be \\". Otherwise, how is that line break supposed to get in there?

Is there any compelling reason to allow \\ in the middle of a line, rather than requiring it to be at the end?

I don't think that a source linebreak in a list item should force a new paragraph - that defeats the ability to edit in a normal text editor without long lines.

It felt to me like we had broad consensus to require whitespace after bullets.

Also, some time soon, we need to take a hard, critical look at the incompatibilities with the current Crossmark draft spec.

The bold and italics markers are fine as they are right now as far as I'm concerned. Using
to force a linebreak is fine, but I would require it to be on the end of the line. Is it the intention that normal ENTERs should be ignored entirely?

To require users to put a space behind a bullet feels a little restricting. Also, it wouldn't be necessary if you only allow "" to be recognized as a 2nd level list item if the list was already started.

I'd like a clarification on the use of the placeholder for "something advanced". Does this mean we could use the placeholder for macros or plugins? If so, a way to deal with parameters would be nice. Something like <<plugin|parm1|parm2>> or

<<plugin>>
parm1 
parm2
<<plugin>>

I think the only compelling reason to allow line breaks in the middle of a line are for table cells. I just explicitly added that line breaks are allowed in table cells.

I'd like to add an argument to reverseing the link syntax from [url|description] to [description|url] as our experience from writing large texts in Wikipedia Syntax is that long links make the wikipedia syntax almost completely unreadable and quite hard to work with otherwise. -- Martin Häcker, 12 Jan 2007

I added your proposal to AlternateLinkSyntaxProposal along with advantages and disadvantages.

I would suggest to distinguish left and right-align text in table cells, like:

|left-aligned  | centered |  right-aligned|
No new markup syntax is necessary and it's quite intuitive.

I agree with Martijn, a multiline version of placeholder would be very useful. I'd suggest the following syntax:

<<< org.domain.app
arbitrary data
>>>

It could be filtered by interpreters like PHP and Sysquake Remote and used for applications similar to Mathematica notebooks or literate programming, where code is mixed with text. With globally unique identifiers, multiple filters could be applied without conflicts.
