Non-strict Markdown parsing breaks on unknown HTML tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Convert the following snippet as Pandoc-enhanced Markdown:

Lorem <lj user="ipsum" /> dolor sic

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Markdown.pl produces:

<p>Lorem <lj user="ipsum" /> dolor sic</p>

Strict Markdown produces:

<p>Lorem <lj user="ipsum" /> dolor sic</p>

Pandoc enhanced produces:

Lorem <lj user="ipsum" /> 
<p>dolor sic</p>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

PanDoc 0.3 w/ GHC 6.6 and Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).

Please provide any additional information below.

I can see why this might be a problem for some applications,
but I'm not sure how to resolve it.  How is pandoc supposed
to know that the tag <lj> is an inline-level tag and not a
block-level tag?  Any suggestions are welcome.
