Again, this is not what I am trying to do and of course I am aware that any 
OO/LO document has lots of formatting and options that markdown lacks that 
would be lost going from OO/LO, that's the reason for using markdown.

My focus - which the other users understood - is to focus on the content of the 
document, using OO/LO later to polish the presentation of the content.

Although I did not mention it, there are also several markdown editors running 
on Android phones and tablets allowing me to work on document content on the go.

This runs into the same problem -- a modern presentation program (such as 
LibreOffice's) is capable of recording many things in ODF files that can't be 
converted into markdown.

The nature of your problem is that you seek to go from a very capable modern format (such 
as ODF) to a simple format which, by design, can "only addresses issues that can be 
conveyed in plain text" (per https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax).

The Multimarkdown editor supposedly can create OO files but since it does
not run on my systems I have not been able to give it a try.

Going from markdown to ODF should be fine, going the other way is naturally 
going to be lossy.
