The convention is to minimize markup, especially in cases where it's not
really needed and it impairs the readability of the plain-text file. My
feeling is that this particular markup doesn't provide enough benefit to
be worth the cost.

Otto, we all very much appreciate attempts to improve the documentation,
and I hope you won't stop. If you would like to do RST work, one very
helpful thing would be to look into the conversion of the (many) remaining
plain-text documents and integration into the doc tree.

Thanks,

jon
