Probably. I said my reservations were not-so-serious. It just seems to
me that Muse is supposed to be write-once-publish-everywhere, and
Markdown would dilute those capabilities a bit for those who wish to
stick to Markdown-specific markup. There are likely some good debates
to be had on whether the benefits of introducing people to Muse
through Markdown outweigh the (admittedly minor) downsides of
integrating Markdown-markup. I guess I just want people to come to
Muse because Muse rocks, not because it is Markdown-compliant. I can
be a bit of a purist sometimes.

Speaking of being a purist, I woke up this morning realizing that if
Muse is going to be in Emacs 22, we should probably have Atom 1.0
output as well as RSS 2.0. There have been some problems with RSS, and
Atom (http://www.atomenabled.org/) is now minutes away from becoming a
standard.
