hmm… yes, Markdown still does tabs to spaces for pre-formatted text.
This really is a Markdown problem (as that is the program which converts your tabs), but I bet they would say that this is a user problem, as Markdown is not encoding aware, and so couldn’t really know about multi-byte sequences.
I can ask at the Markdown list, what their view is on this. We can of course do tabs to spaces before sending the text to Markdown, but then we are deviating from the “standard”, i.e. if you test in TextMate, then post to your blog as Markdown, the result will not be the same.
