I can't believe how simple that is. A leading space for fixed content is
ridiculously simple. I love it.

Regarding accessibility, it's hard without metadata, but even so at this
point we would have three distinctions:

1. Links (which could be announced as such to screen readers)
2. Regular text (which would be read as body)
3. Fixed formatting via leading space (blocks of which could be
announced to screen readers and optionally read or skipped)

That's really not too bad from an accessibility POV for such a minimal
protocol.
