This is plain UTF-8 text that passes the current guidelines, that
passes rpmlint, and without non-standard magic post-processing markup
application side. It works in vi, emacs, eclipse, gedit, etc the same
way.

Which is what standardisation are about. Apps do not have to know
about a special syntax and I don't have to know about special app
quirks because we use the same plain UTF-8 text without magic spec.
