Edit: Sorry, this is unrelated but I just noticed it editing this comment. Apparently when I post a comment, any included Markdown is silently converted to equivalent-but-possibly-different Markdown. (E.g., I used astersisks to emphasize something, and they were converted to underscores.) Can I ask that this not be done? That those of us using the Markdown editor have our actual text unaltered when we go to edit it later? Thank you!
FYI, GreaterWrong does exactly what you ask (i.e., GW caches your actual entered raw text, and retrieves that cached text when you later edit your comment/post—regardless of how that entered text has been transformed for display by Less Wrong).
