Comment:
This is not a problem with `django.contrib.markup`. This problem still
exists for anyone who wants use `admindocs` and also implement their own
`restructuredtext` filter (or use docutils to render rst for any other
purpose).
Django should not assign a *default* interpreted role that *only* works
with `django.contrib.admindocs.util.parse_rst()`.
The ideal fix would be for Django to not set a default to begin with, but
I do not know of a way to set a default inside `parse_rst()` only. If
Django *must* set a default, then the default should be as compatible with
user and 3rd party code as the original default. A refined version of
https://github.com/django/django/pull/368 should do the trick.
FYI this code appears to have been here from the *very* beginning, when
Django was a private framework where it likely didn't need to worry about
people wanting to use docutils to render reStructuredText outside of
Django's narrow focus.
