Oh Janne,

I don't want you to adopt MY specification, I just want you to adopt ANY 
specification.

I simply have to achieve a certain group of markup and in what I now 
realise was altruistic madness I thought I would try and support any 
emerging standard.

I took the creole specification, I have adapted it enormously to include 
  the minimum features that are necessary, I have demonstrated to myself 
that everything I want to achieve is achievable, if only Creole would 
grow up, and all I want to know is what markup to use.

It is a simple question, but one I now realise no one here is able or 
willing to answer.

As for accusing me of pushing my own specification, my "specification" 
is simply a list of required markup for which I am looking for a 
standard, in what way is that pushing my own specification?

Now please, "stand aside worthy adversary".

Mike
