Do notice how the answer to “Are the Yankees the best team in baseball?” has changed from “Yes.” to “We used to think so.”

Does this mean it's being called Common Mark now? Seems like an odd choice for the domain if it's still called Common Markdown.

Seems to be CommonMark (one word), not Common Mark.

"CommonMark" is used pretty much everywhere, "Common Markdown" doesn't appear anywhere.

It looks like they're transitioning to calling it "CommonMark", so as to not try to claim that it's the "official markdown".

Looks like Atwood holds the commonmarkdown.com domain.

The spec is still titled the "Standard Markdown spec".
