I wonder how long we go down this road before we wrap back around to using ASCII/Unicode punctuation to mark up text (eg, paragraph and section symbols)
If memory serves, early 90's era document editors might not have used them in their file formats, but did have a display mode that used them (so you could figure out why that word keeps being bold after you've told it five times to cut it out)
