Maybe, and I mean that sincerely...but are you just saying this must happen or can you actually point to where MacFarlane's proposals would make a significantly less pleasant language?

Requiring a blank line before a sublist just looks wrong.

I couldn’t figure out what was meant by a sublist. Like any hierarchy? Or just list-in-paragraph-in-list, not list-in-list? That one could use some HTML disambiguation in the article.

EDIT: yeah it’s always required. That kills me.
