At this point if the spec is defined, export the Markdown to whatever format is required, and the application used to render it is without merit.

People use applications to render State and Intent.

Both of these are now done, for the moment, through many interfaces and UI/UX/AX.

I open Word/Libre about three times a month to view a document. I do not edit it the original application or format except for a recent event of filling out a document via Word form by a non-native country company.

Almost no one does this. It's just a small part of the tech industry that does.

Everyone else uses office packages.
