re: not allowed by spec: Oh okay. I guess that only really makes sense for 
the handful of extensions that are allowed by commonmark but not by 
markdown, but that isn't really all that useful information. Are there any 
markdown extensions that, for whatever reason, will *never* be incorporated 
into commonmark, either within the spec or as an extension? That might be 
useful to know as well but there might not be any in that situation. 

Perhaps more useful would just be a list for each of the latter two 
categories: 

Former markdown packages that are permanently incorporated into the 
commonmark spec (this could be added to the manual rather than on the wiki, 
since it is essentially fixed, and would be a useful reference?)
Markdown packages yet to be implemented in commonmark (this list belongs on 
the wiki as it gradually shrinks)

I would happily volunteer to give myself a periodic calendar reminder and 
check in with pandoc --list-extensions and the release notes to see if any 
new extensions have been implemented, and update the Wiki list accordingly. 
If someone could put together the first list (I'm not super read-up on the 
details of the commonmark spec) I can put together the second. 

For convenience, the full list of markdown packages not available in 
commonmark (union of the two lists) as of 2.14.0.3 (and I don't believe 
2.14.1 added any new commonmark extensions): 
abbreviations
all_symbols_escapable
angle_brackets_escapable
auto_identifiers
backtick_code_blocks
blank_before_blockquote
blank_before_header
citations
