How about "Specification-flavored Markdown"?



I'd accept that. Seems unwieldily (so it wouldn't be my choice), but I don't think it's outright hostile to the original.

We've got Disqus, Stack Overflow, GitHub, and others. John has referred in the past that he doesn't mind how GitHub has GitHub flavored mark down. This new one could be called Atwood flavored (to pick a name I know is involved). Or they could have stuck with GitHub Flavored markdown and just expand the GitHub flavor.
