Jon,

So the below document is a prime example for why I think RST sucks. As a
text document readability is greatly diminished by all the markup
nonsense.

This stuff should not become write-only content like html and other
gunk. The actual text file is still the primary means of reading this.
I think Igor neglected to read doc-guide/sphinx.rst:

Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation
------------------------------------------------

Here are some specific guidelines for the kernel documentation:

* Please don't go overboard with reStructuredText markup. Keep it
   simple. For the most part the documentation should be plain text with
   just enough consistency in formatting that it can be converted to
   other formats.
I agree that it's overly marked up.
I'll fix it
