I love BBEdit and Textmate as much as the next person, but those aren't answers 
to the poster's question. MMD Composer is close to what the poster is asking 
about, but, Fletcher, you have to type in the `txt` extension over the 
proffered `md` at the save prompt. Have you considered making that a possible 
preference for user's to select? There are actually a couple of iOS apps that 
don't recognize the `md` extension, and so I could see this affecting more than 
the current poster. I use PlainText, and I don't think I've encountered this 
problem -- I can't remember now, however, if I had to re-set some of its 
preferences.

While we're on the topic of MMD Composer, and I bring it up here because this 
might prove an interesting conversation more generally, I'd like to point out 
that in the Preferences, the question of applying italics is posed as an 
either/or radio button. Luckily, in actual use the program formats both, no 
matter which is checked, as italics. This is perfectly acceptable behavior for 
me. I actually use the two differently: I use asterisks for emphasis, as in 
marking the use of a word as a term, and I reserve underlines the titles of 
works. 

This makes it possible for me to use a microformat later in an adapted version 
of MD/MMD. I am "rolling my own", but has any distro of MD pursued a similar 
logic?
