I’ve wondered about this for awhile now. They aren’t that far off, but there are differences I know that will break some of my posts.

What happens to older posts if/when the Markdown interpreter changes; will we get a choice of interpreters to use, or just have to fix whatever breaks by hand? ie write it to the tighter spec now and avoid future issues?

Also, where is this on the roadmap?
