The problem with that is that some people DO end some headings with a full stop; for them your special syntax is not natural.
Markdown/ReST is already using the "no syntax" idea (e.g. compared to pre-wiki markup such a LaTeX or Texinfo), so he's simply trying to push this idea further. I suspect it'll be difficult.
What if I want to use indentation to express quotation instead?
I think this one is solvable: a paragraph that's more indented than the previous heading can be considered a quote. Stefan
