Markdown "safe" feature unclear

[francois@…]

the behaviour of markdown is weird when using the "safe" option :
using markdown 1.6.2 rc-2
when markdown is used with defaults, html in the original text is not escaped, while when passed the "safe" option, it is escaped.
I haven't checked whether the problem exists with other versions of markdown, but with 1.6.2 the following (from contrib/markup/templatetags/markup.py) should be used instead

        if hasattr(markdown, 'version'):
            extensions = [e for e in arg.split(",") if e]
            if len(extensions) > 0 and extensions[0] == "safe":
                extensions = extensions[1:]
                safe_mode = False
            else:
                safe_mode = True
