What I like most about this is that it is a full specification!  The
first one I've seen that's exact enough to be criticized and to be
understood.  I think you may be going overboard with features, but I
like many of your ideas, both about heuristics for implicit markup
(e.g. sections) and about the tokens you use for explicit markup
(using "..").  I also like that you define the escaping mechanism
upfront.  (Using \ to escape means that we're going to have to make
our docstrings raw strings.  Big deal. :-)
