I've been thinking that <!--markup:...--> should somehow be
smart enough to avoid putting the text in a <p>...</p> unless there's
a newline in the markup somehow.

I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, though -- it'll
require some adjustments to the core markup function, or an additional
markup that says "don't turn this into a paragraph".
