Difinition lists in markdown_strict and markdown_github output

Difinition lists in markdown_strict and markdown_github output

[BP Jonsson]

I'm just trying to write a script which turns this

~~~~{.markdown_pandoc}
Term 1
:   Definition 1.1
:   Definition 1.2

     Definition 1.2.a

:   Definition 1.3
Term 2
:   Definition 2.1
     :   Definition 2.1.1
:   Definition 2.2
~~~~

into this

~~~~{.markdown_strict}
-   Term 1
     -   Definition 1.1
     -   Definition 1.2

         Definition 1.2.a

     -   Definition 1.3
-   Term 2
     -   Definition 2.1
         -   Definition 2.1.1
     -   Definition 2.2
~~~~

since that seems to me to be the semantically closest equivalent
in vanilla markdown.

In fact I wonder if this couldn't be made the built-in
behavior/format for definition lists in markdown_strict and
markdown_github output? The current behavior utterly destroys the
semantics, which surely makes noone happy:

~~~~
Term 1
Definition 1.1

Definition 1.2

Definition 1.2.a

Definition 1.3

Term 2
Definition 2.1
Definition 2.1.1

Definition 2.2

I like the idea of changing the behavior this way when the
definition_lists extension is disabled.  Could you put up an
issue on the issue tracker?

Is it OK if I just copy your reply with the quote of my original mail and
post it on the tracker?
