Wordpress cannot change formatting on a per-post basis, thats a  
global setting (maybe there is a plugin for that). However, the good  
news is that you should not need this, because Markdown is designed  
to leave HTML formatted code intact and not apply its own formatting it.

I have not used this with del.icio.us, but  I had a Wordpress blog  
where I needed special formatting in some entries. So I wrote these  
entries in HTML, and all the other ones in Markdown. In my case, this  
worked really well.

I got that from the same source as the markdown plugin:
