From that post there were responses in favor of the use of Markdown formatting and suggestions to not use mathml within a draft targeting an RFC specification and suggestions to update a few urls. I propose to proceed with a format conversion of the FFV1 specification from lyx to Markdown and then I'll file tickets or patches to explore simplifying the mathml expressions and updating the urls. Attached is a patch to convert the formatting (but not meaning) of the FFV1 specification from lyx to markdown.

ive tried with
pandoc --version
pandoc 1.9.1.1

and it also fails (all tables messed up), the html in git looks good though

does this use features available only in recent pandoc ?

Rewriting code that is poorly written but fully understood is good.
Rewriting code that one doesnt understand is a sign that one is less smart
then the original author, trying to rewrite it will not make it better.
