I tend to agree the next order of business is to pick the most popular “extension” (as observed in the wild, on the internet) and add that to the CommonMark spec. My vote would strongly be for tables.

That’s assuming we’re confident in the base CommonMark spec and there aren’t any major outstanding, unresolved issues in the base CommonMark spec? 🤔
