That claim is made frequently, but it is not my experience. That you
can filter out markup in your head does not mean others can -- it is
very distracting to some visually impaired people (including when using
a text-to-speech reader).
I agree. I think we shouldn't be displaying raw Markdown, except
possibly as a temporary measure, while we get the parsing and rendering
in place.
