XMD  Markdown targeted at XML for processing.

Markdown is a decided success, until you realise you need n extensions
for your use case. The many implementations, all producing HTML, some
producing others show its utility, yet together show a need for some
form of standardisation albeit with a level of flexibility.

With the emphasis on Extensibility, marrying markdown with XML struck
me as a possible solution to this issue. If a standard means of
configuration were available mapping markup to XML markup, would it
be possible to roll your own XMD? 

I think this list has the skillset to pull the idea to pieces and
maybe build a solution from those pieces.
