Why don't browsers know how to render a Markdown content-type yet, all by themselves? It's ubiquitous now and it's not like it's hard to parse, but every site has to translate it into HTML itself for the browser.

    There are many flavours and extensions of markdown. For example rendering of a table is not part of the standard. How newlines are handled also differ.

    to have all browsers support this, this need to be made into a web standard. And all agreed by different browser vendors (like chrome, safari and firefox).

    right now this might be best handled by browser extension first.
