Objection. To me, a great feature of Markdown over nearly every
wiki markup out there is that nested block structures are
composable with straightforward rules. If a pure formal grammar
can’t cope, then to hell with pure formal grammars.
Well, I’d like to have these “straightforward rules” defined before I
judge wether or not a formal grammar can cope ;)
The syntax page [1] only mentions nesting of block quotes (in block
quotes) and doesn’t mention nested lists at all. The “reference
implementation”, as you say, “isn’t very good” -- at least not for
extracting concise syntax rules.
