how about headers? It would be killer if you could add the header 
markup that RDoc/Markdown use:

=== Header ===
etc...

I never felt that the "h1." markup was terribly intuitive... I tried to 
imagine myself explaining it to a client, or anyone else with no html 
experience, and I gave up on the idea pretty quick ;)

Of course, if that would be straying too far from the reference 
implementation...
