-1 for now (I can be convinced to change it): RawBlock is very special
and should only be interpreted by renderers which understand the raw
syntax. The plain text renderer shouldn't understand any syntax IMO.

I'd like to see a real use case before changing my -1 to a +1.

Right now if a page has for example a form to create a new type of
page and this page is output in plain text, I will not want to see the
HTML printed as content. It doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks
