Yeh, I don't think it does, unless you want to say "Description and
Registration ...".  And if you want to explain in the Abstract and
Introduction what else you're aiming at, that's fine.

Really, I can't imagine that anyone would read it that way.

Yes, or "Registration", collective noun; using the plural reads oddly
to me.  And I don't see that either one eliminates the possible (but,
I think, unlikely) confusion you state above.

So?  I don't think anyone would expect that we are.  I don't think that matters.

I don't think I'd say "Exemplary"; I might say "Registration of Some
Markdown Variants", perhaps.  But if you want to go in this direction,
I have no objection.

> I still think “text/markdown Use Cases” is not so bad...

You're quite in the rough on this, I think; we have several comments
about "use cases" being the wrong title, and I agree with them (though
I wouldn't have worried about it).  I do think we need to change it.
