I'm happy with that. Good, strong guidance but short of mandation.

I have replaced the TBD on subset of COmmonMark with some text. See just above this heading: https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/RM/latest/data_types.html#_usage_in_dv_text_instances

- I think you are right - I will change the enumerated value to 'markdown', and just document that CommonMark is the one to use.

I'm not so bothered about enforcing CommonMark or any other Markdown flavour. AFAICT this is still a pretty unstable space and as long as the text is reasonably human-readable without rendering for safety purposes, I think we may have to leave it to local policy.

We can certainly express a preference but there is a danger that we will back the wrong horse.

There are still two TBDs re commonmark in there...if we don't make an assumption about minimum version or subset of commonmark now, it will be hard to enforce it later?

Done
