No doubt about that: testing shouldn't impair development. As you've  
seen, I'm not against experiments; I've even told you what to change  
to get what you requested.

But I'm not interested in *publishing* this as a feature of PHP  
Markdown because I don't want to test and maintain a new optional  
feature. Not to mention that I think it breaks the syntax. If you wish  
to do the maintenance and testing it requires and handle the bug  
reports that will come (or ignore them), feel free to fork PHP  
Markdown and publish that; the license allows it.
