Possible bug in Markdown.pl with `<<` handling

[Fletcher T. Penney]

It appears that "double angles" are not properly converted when they  
are not in code blocks, if there is not a space following the second  
`<`.


For example:

	This is not handled <<properly>>.

		But this <<is>>.

	As is << this>>/.

becomes:

	<p>This is not handled &lt;<properly>>.</p>
	
	<pre><code>But this &lt;&lt;is&gt;&gt;.
	</code></pre>
	
	<p>As is &lt;&lt; this>>/.</p>


The `&;t;<` causes problems with XSLT.  I suppose one could look for  
series of `<`'s and convert them all to `&lt;`.  Is there any  
situation in which this would be the incorrect thing to do?
