What Markdown is lacking, in my opinion, is a standard that was curated by the community.

What about http://commonmark.org?

I like the spirit of that effort, but it has a checkered history; it was born out of input from a private working group without input from the community [1]. I'm fundamentally against this philosophy as an open source advocate.
