i sent this a week ago. (exactly 168 hours ago.)
but it never posted... let's see if it posts now...
i was just gonna let it go, but i liked the phrase
"gruber is godot", so i decided to send it again...
gruber isn't going to take charge, folks. really.
so if you want to move markdown forward, _you_
will have to act, collaboratively, which means you
must come together and become a collaborative...
but i sense you would all rather be the big fish
in your own small bowl. which is fine with me...

i wasn't under the impression that simon bull was
asking you to do the work. but maybe i'm wrong...

i don't see anything "complex" in simon's formulation...
i'd guess i could probably program it in a couple hours.
and most of that would be fighting obtuse .html specs...
at the same time, however, i don't see anything in his
formulation that hasn't already been suggested before.
so i'm not sure why it hasn't been done. by everyone.
why the foot-dragging?
are you all still waiting for gruber?
i've got news for you: gruber is godot.
he ain't coming. you might as well move on.
