I'm just wondering… is there any case where you want `<<properly>>` not 
in a monospace font?  That has to be some kind of codeword, and I can't 
imagine it coming up in regular prose.  My suggestion is to either 
escape the second `<`, as in `\<\<properly>>`, or else just wrap the 
whole thing in `\`` marks, as in `` `<<properly` ``.  Markdown shouldn't 
be expected to deal with such weird almost–html-tag things.
