If I read that well, it's more an extension than a fork.

I took a look at your changes, and it seems that most of the modifications could easily be done in a subclass of the MarkdownExtra_Parser class (adding functions, adding entries in the span/block gamut arrays), the one notable exception being the `parseSpan` function.

I'm not complaining or suggesting anything, only making the observation that `parseSpan` in PHP Markdown & PHP Markdown Extra is somewhat in the way of making extensions by subclassing.
