    If <title> isn’t intended to be human readable, why not use \0 instead? Every tag could be 2-3 characters, saving space and increasing machine processing speed.

      This is the entire argument I’m making. HTML makes compromises that makes it harder for the human to read and also harder (or at least less optimal) for the machine to read. Markdown codifies an existing human-readable format in a way that a machine can handle easily, too.
