Your example illustrate the problem quite well, but is it really a
bug? How can Markdown tell <properly> isn't really a tag? What if you
had <<img src="">>? In fact, Markdown treat <properly> as if it was a
tag and leave it alone as it should according to John's syntax
description document.

Right. This is working as designed at the moment. If you want to
use `<<`, you'll just have to put spaces around it:

    this << that

-J.G.

Perhaps I am ignoring something obvious - but when does `<<` ever occur in XHTML? Shouldn't it be a safe assumption that Markdown should convert any string of multiple `<`'s in a row into `&lt;`'s?
