I find it confusing that author proposes llms.txt, but the content is actually markdown? I get that they tried to follow the convention, but then why not make it a simple text file like the robots.txt is?

Markdown is plain text. llms.txt is meant to be displayed in plain text format, not rendered to html.

Yes, and .py is "plain" text too. The extension however helps with signaling the intend of the file. Also, there is something to say for the argument "there is no such thing as plain text" [0]

Why does the proposal propose using .md for all other LLM-directed resources, then? Aren't they equally meant to be displayed in plain text format?
