I was tempted to comment 'this isn't news to any of us', but it is a good summary of what Markdown does and what dialects there are.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mention that Gruber basically abandoned Markdown and let it linger for months on end, only to come back complaining about the new dialects that sprung up in his absence. The project has no 'leadership' and no project homepage for people to participate, which is unfortunate, because Markdown is pretty useful.

The github (and stackoverflow) dialect of Markdown have potential to become the new main dialects though, through the power of git(hub) alone... here's hope.
