Markdown sucks
Markdown interprets all text between two underscores as italic. This would be fine if nobody needed to use underscores. In other words, this:

    Popular Apache modules include mod_php and mod_rewrite

shows up like this:

    Popular Apache modules include modphp and modrewrite

You can escape underscores, but this defeats Markdown's stated purpose of appearing like natural text.
