I'm going mental tonight obviously (or rather, I had too large a  
glass of wine with dinner). These test results are exactly what I'd  
expect as Text::Markdown is know to pass the full Markdown test suite  
already..

Looking at the PHP Markdown test suite (also in MDTest), there are a  
number of bugs that I've still got which Michel has fixed with PHP  
Markdown, I'll report back about these later when I've had a bit more  
chance to look at them.
