Yep, it would be interesting.

Yes, for now it seems reasonable solution.
Also, ET don't have any output indentation, I wrote function that do 
some indentation for ET. Another one solution is to tune this function 
to match previous markdown output.
I also tried to load data from tests html files to ET, and then 
serialize it, but there are some issues and I didn't succeeded in it.
