Possible bug in Markdown.pl with `<<` handling

[Fletcher T. Penney]

It appears that "double angles" are not properly converted when they are not in code blocks, if there is not a space following the second `<`.

For example:

        This is not handled <<properly>>.

                But this <<is>>.

        As is << this>>/.

becomes:

        <p>This is not handled &lt;<properly>>.</p>
        
        <pre><code>But this &lt;&lt;is&gt;&gt;.
        </code></pre>
        
        <p>As is &lt;&lt; this>>/.</p>

The `&;t;<` causes problems with XSLT. I suppose one could look for series of `<`'s and convert them all to `&lt;`. Is there any situation in which this would be the incorrect thing to do? I have noted that persons with bad judgment are most insistent that we do what they think best.
