author here. yup. tried to make that clear by constantly referring to Gruber's spec. A few years ago I didn't even know there were different flavors of markdown. Fortunately/Unfortunately Gruber's is the one that stuck and is universally accepted by all markdown tooling, hence it is now the lowest common denominator we must work with.
Have you seen the commonmark standard? Did not see that mentioned. https://commonmark.org/
