That always bothered me about Redcloth.  It's taking two very different
syntaxes, trying to cater to them both, while "favoring" Textile.  Something
of a Frankenstein...

Did you look at Bluecloth?  I haven't recently, and I have to admit that the
last time I looked, it still (many months after the fact) wasn't up to the
latest Markdown -- it seemed it had somewhat stagnated as a project -- but
at least it *is* for Markdown syntax and only Markdown syntax.  And it
worked well on the few MD texts I used it with.
