_From where I stand, these requirements create the "between a rock and a hard
place" situation. If the markup system is fixed with side-effect of more
discipline required, but the optionality is not introduced, that would
suddenly break a lot of code (runtime), and in a way that could neither be
converted automatically nor even reasonably warned about problematic use. So
the least painful option is to just drop it and provide the conversion
script (which should be fully automatic).
