Line 84:
;''Disadvantages'' of month-day markup
# Complicates the editing process with confusing syntax and additional keystrokes.
# Redundant for avoiding ambiguity, when standard punctuation and the correct preposition are used ("In June, 19 planes departed", versus "On June 19, planes departed").
# Possible "metadata" add no value to those from existing tools, so it is unclear whether/why they warrant the use of special markup.
