It's an important point to discuss. I agree with you, maybe the spec
should encourage the parser can smartly (?) do that for you. Unless we
come to a way that doesn't make the markup dirty. Some implementations
like [kramdown][1] (based on maruku's), let's add attributes and
classes with {: } after the "tag" in question.

Though, I insist any change of this kind will turn the original
markdown.pl (JG implementation) "not complying".
