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.

Sure. Would you prefer a patch on ffmpeg-devel or a PR in github?

I'm using:
pandoc --version
pandoc 1.13.2.1

I'm only recently introduced to pandoc so I'm not well aware of the difference from 1.9.1.1 to 1.13.3.1, but I do see a lot of references to markdown and table bug fixes in http://pandoc.org/releases.html <http://pandoc.org/releases.html> after 1.9.1.1.

Could you give me access to your pdf so I can see the difference.

It seems so.
