IMO separating Markdown from HTML is the wrong approach. Likewise everyone who filters out `<em>` but allows asterisks for emphasis is doing it wrong. Markdown is an alternative syntax for HTML. The right thing to do with a Markdown document is convert it to regular HTML, *then* optionally apply a tag white list, *then* optionally convert this HTML (subset) document to other formats. If there are HTML tags you cannot (easily) support in your target formats, just omit them from your supported subset of HTML. That way you support real Markdown, not a crippled Markdown-lookalike syntax.
