A BNF grammar would be nice to start with.
IMHO, pandoc markdown support is the mother of all implement featuring lots of goodies (table and footnote to name 2)

How can this be harder than creating table with Word? Word always gets in the way. Word appears to be easier but down the road, it always end up as a painful process.
For me just the benefit of being mergable and delegating styling at the end of the tool chain is just plain great.

Edit: rendering issues!
I think I'll just "preprocess" the file, looking for something like !csvtable(filename.csv).
Wrote the script (it worked), but some specific complex features from Word still were missed ("how do I do a reference to a picture?") and couldn't be easily supported by pandoc or this script.
Though for a brief time of going full-mode procrastinator and writing another markup language...
Then I had to admit the whole thing wasn't really working and now recommend we move back to Microsoft Word because it's easier.
A day of Total fail, and procrastination, and making everyone install MikTex, pandoc and Python.
I hope I don't regret for suggesting we use Git...
