Does anyone remember Creole wiki markup? It was born in a time when each wiki created its own syntax. Creole should become the standard for wikis, but it never got traction. I fear that it will be the same with commonmark.

Probably would have worked better if they were allowed to call it "Standard Markdown" or had been able to get Gruber aboard.
