Honestly, if you want to take into account all the non-US keyboards, 
you'd have to create a new markup for each language. Or altenative 
markups for some things.
On a german keyboard, "[]{}~" is generally a pain to type (AltGr+8, 
AltGr+9, AltGr+7, AltGr+0, ..., AltGr+Q) and that is because 
unfortunately we Germans consider umlauts more important than brackets. 
Umlauts are at the places of brackets on the english keyboards.
So, if you would want to make an easy-to-type markup for a german 
keyboard, you'd have to use +'#*-_.:,;?`?\<>!"?$%&/=
But <>| are not so easy to hit either (in my oppinion).

With 20 or 30 different keyboard-layouts in the world, how do you want 
to find a markup that is easy to type on each of them?
