Org markup and Org syntax sound good, I think. I’m unsure which is
better to convey that this includes features — that org-mode is much
more than just a way to encode some information, but a way to interact
with documents and an implementation of the syntax should keep that in
mind.
One thing that is important to keep: Org Syntax or Org Markup is
implementation-defined. You cannot claim *full compatibility*, if you
are not fully compatible with org-mode. This includes a lot of Emacs
features, like linking to arbitrary files/buffers/things, extending
links, and so on.
The minimal syntax (missing a lot of features) would be outline markup
or outline syntax (from outline-mode, the ancestor of org-mode).
Best wishes,
Arne
