Why then does the fallacious argument that a spec would represent
a loss for the user continue?

Some people have proposed before that some constructs may not be outlawed, that syntax rules should be changed, that Markdown is either too clever or not clever enough. People have been pushing a spec for a lot of reasons, and thus the consequences of writing a spec have become much more confusing.

Here's my take on it:

I don't think Markdown should be changed, we just need a spec to avoid each implementation from implementing "cleverness" in incompatible manners. Let's specify exactly how things *are* parsed now, minus the bugs.

(Note that by how things *are* parsed now, I'm not talking about specifying in english how Markdown.pl works; I'm talking about having the same result from a given input. Just making sure I'm not adding more unneeded confusion to that part of the discussion.)
