Yes. :)

More testing is always better, and if there are corner cases where my  
whitespace normaliser doesn't agree with yours (and one fails a test  
but the other doesn't) - then we should give the smoke tests  
opportunity to find them...

That sounds reasonable, and was pretty much what I was thinking of. I  
may / will probably need two test suites, one for Text::Markdown, and  
one for Text::MultiMarkdown.
