Is it just this, that it (probably) isn't used much? Not a good argument in my book (especially due to the uncertainty in usage). Would it not be better to fix the problem at hand? Maybe by changing the symbol since + seems overloaded, would not - be a better choice?
On a side-note, what is the intended behavior of bold, italic, strike-through etc. regarding line-breaks? Since a single long line has the same meaning in org as multiple consecutive short lines I think the markup-elements above also should support multiple lines of text (but not be valid between paragraphs) Regards Gustav
