  Yup.

  Well, Markdown has two RFCs (RFC-7763 and 7764), so one could always use
that to serve up documents---they allow linking after all.  Then again,
expect to see requests for changes all the time as people use the
protocol/text format and bump up against the limitations.  I don't know what
to tell you here---I'm neutral on this aspect.
