With my own bias ;-), I didn’t notice opposition to markup, but I’m
happy to (re)read arguments that I overlooked.

But really, I expect that maybe 80% of the descriptions won’t contain
any markup.  I do not expect markup to become pervasive, though of
course there’ll be a temptation to use @code instead of quotes in some
places, for instance (but I would reject a patch that replaces all
quotes with @code, for example.)
