We would like the WG to focus on developing draft-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown with Sean until it's ready to go at least to WGLC, or preferably to the IESG, and then we can adopt draft-seantek-text-markdown-use-cases if there's still the energy and desire to publish it at that time.

Well, I object to not adopting it. Just one vote, but 1 > 0. :)

Nevertheless I agree that the main document be the priority. I am not sure what the feeling of the WG is, however, on the exemplary registrations that are in the use-cases document. There was that BCP (do not recall the number) about how an IANA registry should be filled in the same document. Note that the IANA registry is populated in the main text-markdown draft, but only with one entry: Gruber’s Original Markdown variant (syntax, whatever). Since I don’t have the BCP in front of me I’m not sure if that satisfies it.

The open issues are mostly covered by the Thursday e-mail “text/markdown: Simplifying the syntax parameter and the draft”; archived at <http://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/apps-discuss/kaSgQOOolkXUdmYKeh78npLAlXQ>. If we can get agreement on that (or at least, no objections), I can at least output a draft-04 and we can keep it moving.

Best regards,
