I think the idea for MMD was so that for apps that supported the attribute, 
you could edit (or create) the note (which contains the content of a 
section) in Markdown format rather than HTML in whatever app you opened or 
imported the OPML file in. This seems to be a sensible thing. Perhaps it 
would be easy enough to look at the first characters in the note to tell if 
it is HTML or plain text.
