Based on the number of weird special cases that we've enumerated in this
(very cursory) discussion, it seems like it's great for hand-generated
static text, ie, usages where you can see how it renders before you
publish it. For machine-generated output it seems to be full of
foot-guns, and so I wonder exactly how many people are really truly
using it as a data transmission format.
