About markdown: I am not sure that multiplication of gopher types is a good thing, as it's already somewhat a mess right now. The main question would be probably to know what are the benefits of markdown? If I understood correctly, it's a text format that brings simplistic 'rich' content with a set of font styles. As you noted, some people (me included) are using html on gopher, which already provides such capabilities. It also allows to use links, and embed images (does markdown allow this?). html is supported by virtually anything nowadays, that provides some graphical rendering... So I am not convinced markdown support would bring any significant improvements to gopher. Nonetheless, I'll listen to other's arguments with much interest.
