Are you kidding me? Not a single client of ours would be happy about using
Textile (or understand it beyond the day of us explaining it to them), way
too complex for sure. Hell, *I* don't even get Textile half the time and
can't remember it because I find it unintuitive -- I hate when blogs force
me to use Textile in comments instead of plain and simple HTML.

Especially for web design / development blogs, one should just allow
normal HTML formatting. Just limit the allowed elements and attributes, is
what I say. :-)
