I don't see anything pragmatic about it. It seems like a complete mess, less convenient than markdown (putting a space before a title makes it into a comment? uwot?), and no more extensible.

You're misreading what texti is all about. A comment is unix-style # and a heading (title) is using the wikipedia markup convention. You can put as many spaces before as you like it makes no difference to a comment or to a heading (title). See some samples @ https://github.com/texti/texti.github.io/tree/master/samples to compare markdown, texti and wikipedia markup using a real-world article (from wikipedia itself on markup languages).
About extensible - it's no different from markdown with two additions - 1) evolution / changes are more than welcome and 2) texti (like wikipedia markup) has (recursive) template extensions / includes built-in.
