I go for 3 (so whithout escaping)

1. Can be interesting *but* if all special char are escaped it will become
useless : one good point with ReST is that you can read it like 'less
README.rest' and it is readable like python code. If it is full of escaped
characters it can turn unreadable by a human. (we, at dalibo, used to write our
docs with ReST and most of the time we don't need to escape special char).

I don't follow 0 or 2..
