The input processor of TeX will fold one or more spaces into a single space 
and consume all spaces at the end of a line. Making spaces and soft breaks 
into commands avoids this at the cost of lesser readability.

As stated in my original post, attributes are currently discarded by the 
writer. However, the Markdown package supports attributes on headers 
<https://witiko.github.io/markdown/#header-attributes> and attributes on 
divs and spans <https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/issues/126>, links, 
images, and inline code <https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/issues/123> as 
well as raw attributes <https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/issues/173> are 
planned for the next release (2.18.0). Therefore, adding support for 
attributes on many types of elements should be straightforward.

The implementation rests on my Markdown package for TeX 
<https://ctan.org/pkg/markdown>, which provides formatting for most 
elements of the Pandoc AST across different TeX formats such as plain TeX, 
LaTeX, and ConTeXt. Dominik's proof of concept bridges Pandoc with the 
Markdown package and hence the (somewhat confusing) name.
