Yes, I think this is potentially a bad idea. Org parsing is already slow
enough without adding yet more syntax and font-locking complexity.
I also suspect this is not as simple as just adding this to org parsing
- all backends and many contributed packages would likely also need to
be updated to understand the new syntax. So probably not a trivial
change and a change which is likely to have real impact wrt backwards
compatibility.
Part of the issue here is that there is no markdown 'standard'. There
are a number of markdown 'flavors' or dialects. Org is just another one
(and one of the older ones at that).
