I think the title of this should actually be 'markdown for metadata'. No matter. What we have here is a nice clear way of presenting metadata that is easy to write and easy to read. The formal is common in website configuration and scripting languages - so much so it has its own abbreviation, YAML (Yet Another Markdown Language). I think the result could be even simpler - it's not immediatelyu clear what the @ symbols are doing. But it's way better than ugly XML.
