There's a bigger issue here that isn't about whether pandoc supports Kroki 
diagrams.

We're seeing a small-scale repeat of Browser Wars regarding *de facto* 
standards being ushered in without due process, which inevitably leads to 
splintering and incompatibilities. That was my main point, sorry that I did 
not state it directly.

To be clear, I think it'd be worthwhile to have a discussion about 
introducing simple namespaces regarding diagrams, syntax highlighting, and 
other possible ways to mark up diagrams. Without such a discussion, we'll 
see proliferation of Markdown documents that are specific to different 
implementations.

Or maybe having different flavours of Markdown is fine and any software 
that wants to support Markdown can optionally support as many flavours is 
people request: GitHub Markdown, GitLab Markdown, Pandoc Markdown, 
KeenWrite Markdown, Markdown-Writer-FX Markdown, etc.
