Extending markdown?

[MDK]

Hello,

I'm a great fan of markdown, using it mostly to publish blog posts
(wordpress plugin). However, there are some little things I'm missing in
markdown. I though I'd share this as possible extensions in future.

1.  Image linking. It often happens, that you post a thumbnail image
being a link to the full-size image (think: photos, screenshots...). It
would be nice to extend the ![]() to support an image being a link to
something. Say: ![alt text](img src){link address}

2.  Linking to headers. It would be cool to be able to easily link to
headers in the created document. So that we don't have to use the...

	<h3 id="philosophy">Philosophy</h3>

...thing. If I have a 

	## Philosophy ##

in my document, writing a 

	[click here][Philosophy]

should create a link to the Philosophy header. 
I happen to use markdown to write longer documents like README files or
other software documentation. Markdown is great here, as these files are
often published on the web and inside the source tarballs as well.
Having the header-linking functionality would improve the index-buliding
capabilities (I think it's kind of out-of-style to use html markup in
the README)

3.  Aligning. You might not agree on this one - I think that if
something is really tabbed-away from the left margin (say: 12 spaces, 3
tabs) it should get right-aligned automatically. This might break the
current syntax semantics so I suppose this is not so important. 

Best regards,
