I'd very much like to avoid creating yet another Markdown flavour but
I don't think it will be possible to use an existing one in its entirety.
The issue (?) with Creole is [1], where you're allowed to tack on
anything you want in the parts not covered in the spec. If you ask me,
this sounds exactly like what the case was with the original
`specification' of Markdown: the documentation was just too damn vague
and ambiguous so we ended up with every company interpreting it
themselves in a way that was favourable to them.

Is there any reason in particular why you'd like Pandoc (strict)
Markdown rather than any other flavour?
