I thought a goal of Markdown was to be a set of conventions that were readable on their own as well as being transformable to a rich text/HTML representation.
You can read a Markdown document pretty easily using "less" or any other character-based interface.
The same is not really true of reST.
Maybe I'm confusing that with some other plain-text markup convention?
