No, there isn't really a consensus. FWIW, this is not a "new elegant Markdown", this is a 100% standards compilant Markdown library, with optional support for some extensions that we found useful. The syntax for these extensions comes, basically, from the Markdown mailing list and PHP-Markdown Extra.

Eh, what's that now? Isn't Markdown implementation-defined? I wasn't aware there was a spec, I thought it was just some notes on a dude's blog.

I think the "Markdown standard" could be considered to be Gruber's official docs: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
