In the OASIS Lightweight DITA Subcommittee we are currently working toward exactly something like this, a standard transform between Markdown and DITA. And between HTML5 and DITA, Word and DITA etc. We're just getting started but the DITA side will be a stripped-down but still conforming DITA.

Hi Eliot,
(resent to include the list address) What will be the support you will expect apart from knowing the extension and having a new file template? Both of these I think can be configured right now.
I was thinking more along what Tom mentioned in his reply, to define a MarkdownML language and provide visual editing, specific actions and conversion to Markdown. Of course this can be done also as a DITA specialization or we can have MarkdownML to DITA transformations as well.

Now that I'm doing a lot of work with GitHub repos I'm writing a lot of markdown documents (readmes, wiki pages, etc.).
Oxygen doesn't appear to have any out-of-the-box knowledge of markdown as a file type.
I realize markdown files are fundamentally just text, but it would be nice if ".md" files were at least recognized as markdown files and there as a built-in file->new type of markdown.
