I'm curious how people think the following *should* be interpreted:

2. two

As you can see, implementations split into three groups here:

(a)  treat as an unordered list
Markdown.pl, Python markdown, MultiMarkdown, BlueCloth, MarkdownJ,
     Showdown

(b)  treat as an unordered list with an ordered sublist
     PHP Markdown, Text::Markdown, Pandoc

(c)  treat as an unordered list followed by an ordered list
     Maruku, Discount, PEG Markdown


Nice case.. I think that what Text::Markdown is doing here (i.e. option B) is _wrong_..

My gut feeling is that option (c) is what users expect, otherwise they wouldn't have changed the list item marker - however if the community has very strong feelings that (a) is more 'correct' then I'll go with that.

Cheers
