we want is to make it even harder on new users. So any warnings about malformed input either have to be opt-in, or there needs to be no errors. Either seems fine to me, just don't foist technical warnings or scary-looking red messages onto people who don't want them, or know how to resolve them.
Again, I'm not sure why we're even having this discussion as it seems to be tangential to the grammar/new parser project. But hypothetically if there *were* warnings, I would make them green and bubble shaped for the reasons you mention. Sort of a "hey, did you mean to leave that bold open? :) :) :)" rather than a "ZOMG U IJIT U DIDNT CLOSE UR BOLD DIE DIE DIE" type of thing.
