For example if i starts a line mentioning an IRC channel like that:
#channel [...]
this would be presented to the user as an header of level 1 which is
not.
The same would be true if i mention a tag for a social network.

I guess this is just as good an argument as the *emphasised* wordsclashing with list items thing. AFAIK it hasn't been spotted in thewild yet, but that's probably just a function of Geminispace being youngand small.

As for the list item i think would be a good idea to add a space to
the header mark: so from "#" to "#<space>" and so on for header level
2 and 3.

This would be covered by Petite Abeille's proposal to just put amandatory space after *all* the special line indicators.

Is it silly that I'm sad this would require (on account of### sub-sub-headings) changing "It is possible to unambiguouslydetermine a line's type purely by inspecting its first three characters"to "first four characters"? It is silly. But three just feels like amuch more *natural* choice of entirely arbitrary small number...
