Yes, well, writers of Romanic, Cyrillic or Greek script will
report that Textile works better for them in in this regard than
Markdown, because they don’t get tripped by in-word underscores
becoming emphasis.

Remember, though, noone is looking to change the rules asterisks.
So I think changing the underscore rules would provide the right
mix of features; better than either current Markdown or Textile
for both Asian and Western scripts.

Right?
