By “core markdown,” I meant simply the sorts of elements that are
supported in John Gruber’s original markdown: block quotes, lists,
etc. Tables and footnotes are not among them. I would be happy to
see markdown grow organically to have a table syntax (though I don’t
particularly like “pipe tables” – see pandoc for some nicer plain
text table formats). But it would be better to discuss that after
settling current core features.
