IMHO comparing the ugliness auf MarkDown with the beauty of ReST this 
seems to be unfortunately something which should be made more public
amongst Github users.

BTW: Who can contribute reports about her/his experiences
with pandoc ( https://github.com/jgm/pandoc ) to this discussion?
I've experimented in a project with the following makefile rule but
later decided to manually edit the resulting .rst files a lot.

%.rst: %.md
    pandoc $< -f markdown -t rst -o $@

To the OP question: Pandoc seems to contain a partly finished
ReST implementation in the programming language Haskell.  From the
description of the Pandoc project I guess, that Davids original
architecture of docutils might have inspired the author of Pandoc.
