Problems with <ins> and <del>

[Michel Fortin]

Hi Paul,

Try writing this instead:

	<ins>
	<p>Hello, this whole paragraph has been inserted.</p>
	</ins>

To be taken as block elements by Markdown, "ins" and "del" need to be 
alone on their line. If they are not, they are considered span 
elements.

* * *

Of course it would work on one line if Markdown saw the "p" tag inside 
it as a block. This may be part of a future version since it *almost* 
work on my PHP Markdown experimental branch (choose MD Experimental on 
the PHP Markdown dingus page). But it currently fail to swap back the 
hash value for the paragraph, so the result looks ugly.
