With the proposed enhancement, it's governed by the flag "attributes"

block will be seen as just another paragraph of text). If there's actually a standard with a well-known name (which I couldn't find), I'd be fine with renaming this to something else, in the same way that a bunch of changes are governed by the flag "gfm" (Github Flavored Markdown). Flags are definitely the way to go here.
Is there any interest in this feature? Conversely, are there any objections? It's almost 100% backward compatible (the chances that someone would have an attribute block that is actually meant to be text are very low), and it's a very helpful way to add a bit of styling to something while still basically being Markdown.
