Nice case.. I think that what Text::Markdown is doing here (i.e.  
option B) is _wrong_..

My gut feeling is that option (c) is what users expect, otherwise  
they wouldn't have changed the list item marker - however if the  
community has very strong feelings that (a) is more 'correct' then  
I'll go with that.
