There are dozen of flavours of Mardown, not always compatibles, it's not a syntax adapted for XML, and it's really limited (no table/color by default for instance). Markdown is not standardized, which make it quite a bad choice to be used in a standard protocol. And what if in 5 year an other syntax is trendy? I don't really see the point of changing to a syntax just because it's popular now when XHTML-IM is perfectly adapted to XML, standardized, and working well (and Markdown can be trivially converted to XHTML-IM, so it's already usable at the moment). And again, we are going for years of incompatibilities by changing it now.
