Well, ALMOST everyone. Frankly there are NO blogs that I read, only ones
that I find searching for a specific topic. Then I read that specific
entry. I also can't be bothered with twitter ...

As Bowerbird pointed out in an earlier message, there has been a rise
recently in Markdown apps. I would guess the people asking have been
among the developers of those apps, and I would guess they have
included developers prominent enough to get his attention.
I saw the following exchange on Twitter recently between Gruber and
the developer Gus Mueller. I don't have any more context than this:
=============================================================
ccgus: @gruber UTI. Markdown. UTI.
Hint, hint.
UTI. [http://twitter.com/ccgus/status/98870955245441024]
=============================================================
gruber: @ccgus Shit, forgot about that. Will do tomorrow or tonight.
[http://twitter.com/gruber/status/98909687612837888]
=============================================================
As for Gruber not posting here, my gut feeling is that he has no
interest in contributing to Markdown (or any other project) in any
technical way, even to set direction or endorse a successor.
The nearest thing you'll get to a public feedback mechanism is to
mention @gruber on Twitter or to use
<http://daringfireballwithcomments.net> (Safari only).

i don't know (and don't care about) any possible significance of
such a pronouncement on a "uniform type indicator", but i think
that it's interesting that gruber has decided to make _any_ type
of statement on markdown, with the big moves now underfoot,
and doubly so when he chooses to communicate it via his blog
-- which is public, but has zero public feedback mechanism --
and not also here, where markdown developers hold discussions.
this is not a judgment -- of any type -- merely an observation...
