Sigh this is a discussion about the merits of light weight markup, not an attack on you or your pet markup system. It's about trying to figure out whether spending time and effort on creating apps that support light weight markup is worth it.
1) Features not supported by light weight markup
- CSS float, boxes with custom borders, boxes with background colors for emphasis. Drop caps. I could go on.
2) I care because I am trying to drill into your thick head that light weight markup is not the best solution for ebooks.
3) Ditto.
1) If your tools are not open source you're not giving them to people you're giving people the ability to use them. A subtle, but important distinction.
2) Again the point of this discussion is to weigh the merits of light weight markup as a format for ebooks, not to decide whether you've spent your time wisely or not.
3) My concern was writing converters to zml not from zml. If you want to push zml as an ebook format, considering that there are currently no ebooks in zml you'd better worry about writing converters to zml not from zml.
