I just tried Focused in Sierra on an document I had been editing before the MacOS upgrade. The document does not appear but the preview does. When will Focused work in Sierra?

RE: Support of lists
John's work was ground breaking and over the years various extensions were built and faster parsers created. I like Fletcher's MultiMarkdown which includes John's original spec plus lots of well thought out extensions. Fletcher has released version 5 just recently and I have built his code on old Macs and Raspberry Pi. His build process includes lots of tests.
Common Mark is interesting but, IMHO, has a long way to go. I will be monitoring it.
Most of the time one doesn't need much more markdown than John's original spec. I use a lot of features that are only available now in MultiMarkdown.

RE: Support of lists
Brett Terpstra wrote a good article on writing better markdown. In it he discusses some issues between different markdown processors with respect to lists. He uses a lot of different markdown editors had he is the author of Marked 2 which is, IMHO, a great app for previewing markdown files.
Another good source is Fetcher Penney's site who maintains the MultiMarkdown processor that Focused seems to use. See the MultiMarkdown documentation for a pretty good description of all the features. I appreciated when he added abbrevs for when I have to write technical papers with lots of acronyms.
I have always found adding a blank line before and after lists, headings, quotes, etc made for easier to read and process markdown.
