Noted.  I want them also.  :-)

Well, the only reason that there's not an official markup yet is because
I haven't been able to decide what that official markup should be.
But I agree it'd be nice to have a standard way to do it.

Historically I've reserved the '=' at the beginning of a line
for customized markup.  Thus, if someone wants block-level items you
can define a markup such as:

    =note  This is a note in a div with class='note'

by adding the following to local.php

   $InlineReplacements['/^=note (.*)$/'] = "<div class='note'>$1</div>";
