Hi Paul, I was hoping for a "best-of-both-worlds" approach: keep the usual XWiki syntax working as is, and add rules to our rendering engine for the markdown syntax elements that are different. This way one could use both XWiki syntax and markdown syntax in the same document seamlessly (a bit like right now you can mix HTML content with markdown content), without breaking the WYSIWYG editor.
I think Vincent made it abundantly clear that this was utopian and I was underestimating the underlying complexity :-) As for the relative popularity of markdown syntax WRT to ASCIIdoc and XWiki syntax, I don't have hard numbers, but right now Markdown is the de facto standard for many developer-focused apps in a way that the other 2 are not.
