Multimarkdown just seems to put raw markdown inside the _note
attribute. But it seems to me that encoded HTML would be a
better choice, since the spec is explicit about allowing that
in the text attribute.
(Of course, it would be converted to markdown in an opml ->
markdown conversion.)
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.
