Not wrong at all. That's a good idea.

Vaguely related: I wrote my own markup language for my blog posts. It's
a hydrid of Markdown style in-line formatting and *roff style block
formatting. _Italics_ like that, and ".p" / "./p" for open and close
paragraphs, or ".pp" to close a paragraph and start a new one. I use
"set paragraphs=ppp\ hrbri\ d\ /p" to make { and } motions work for that
filetype. "set paragraphs" is highly tuned to *roff style formatting
(namely implied initial period and max of two characters in a label)
which highly reduces the usefulness, but old Unix hands are more likely
to find/use such formatting. But I wrote the markup knowing how "set
paragraphs" works.

(The other entries in there are used for things like horizontal rules,
image tags, and image boxes.)
