Well, I see a value: compatibility with eval.
That should be the key for this project: it's not "another markup
language". It's plain Javascript (wo/need eval)
Initially, I had the idea to suggest:
{
mypage = 'loret
ipsum...
...
....'
}
that is, multiline string, where the end of line (without \ at end) were
preserved when loaded. But then I realized that feature would break eval
semantic
