Org parsing is already slow enough without adding yet more syntax and font-locking complexity. I also suspect this is not as simple as just adding this to org parsing - all backends and many contributed packages would likely also need to be updated to understand the new syntax. So probably not a trivial change and a change which is likely to have real impact wrt backwards compatibility. Part of the issue here is that there is no markdown 'standard'. There are a number of markdown 'flavors' or dialects. Org is just another one (and one of the older ones at that). -- Tim Cross
