Great to know. Thought so, that it is not hard to fix.

However, this being a Debian bug report and I got the most current
Pandoc package for Debian stable: Excuse me my naïve question: is it
supposed that this fix is going to hit Debian stable as an update
anytime soon?

And I do have a second question since I am writing very simple
parser on my own: what's the default policy of Pandoc when it comes
to unknown syntax? When can content be missing after conversion of
unknown syntax elements?

Thank you very much for your help!
