TL;DR - "Markdown is too simple for me, I'd like it to be more nuanced"

I'm not saying that to be cheeky. The article can be boiled down to that because the author is looking for HTML features in Markdown, when there's very little need. e.g. we don't need classes in markdown and we don't need IDs or `name` attribute specifiers because that can be accomplished already by mixing in the HTML that one needs.
