[development] check_markup() question

[Moshe Weitzman]

Many folks have also advocated for this so you are in good company. Since
Steven will have to bless this patch, I suggest getting buy in from him on a
use case. See his comment at
http://www.acko.net/blog/drupal-filter-formats#comment-78

Also see an old patch at http://drupal.org/node/11225. There may be others
around too.
