(I was playing with some non-essential wording and trying to test all the examples before I pointed the list at the new version.)
Since requiring a leading backslash went over like a lead balloon, we've revised the proposal one more time. The leading newline is now optional: If indentation stripping is enabled, you can either start typing content on the same line as the delimiter, or you can start on the next line. I resisted this solution for a while because it seems ad-hoc, but ultimately it's the design that preserves the most formatting flexibility for the user, so I think it's the right way to go. Other than that, there are no changes to the design in this revision, though I've rephrased a few things and added a section about why we strip a leading newline but not a trailing one. John has also built a new version of the toolchain which matches this behavior.
