I can understand that MD can’t be all things to all users and that it’s better to allow both usages where necessary. In this case, I thought since it’s edge cases in both languages (but can definitely lead to confusion every once in a while), it might be agreeable to make it more explicit.
Would it maybe also make sense to treat CJK characters more like words? If that is technically possible at all. IANALinguist but from some of the discussions here, it seems like this would be closer to the way there’re used.
