Hmmm, I see what you mean - but I don't think that is a realistic
use case.  If you have an org document, would you then want to go
through ASCII and then markdown for HTML instead of using the direct
route?

And I think that

    I get 10 times more traffic from [Google] than from
    [Yahoo] or [MSN].

is still easier to read than

    I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
    [Yahoo][] or [MSN][].

So I would need a convincing argument to make it exactly
markdown format.
