Whatever markup convention is finally settled on, I suggest avoiding in
it the use of characters that often get mangled when passing through
gateways or are national use characters in ISO 646.  As near as I can
tell, those characters are

   accent grave
   backslash
   circumflex
   curly braces
   dollar sign
   exclamation point
   number sign
   square brackets
   tilde
   vertical bar

I realize that this list conflicts with some common usage, but
it would be helpful to avoid introducing any new usage.
