I mean that "difficulty to test" must not impair the development process. Yes, sure, don't roll out software that hasn't been tested, but, as Markdown is issued under an open source license, there's who knows how many people who might want the untested functionality, and who will be willing to test
it, and probably improve on it as well. Me included.

I don't think that if something is difficult to test, it
shouldn't be implemented.

You mean it's fine for people to give you software that might or
might not work, and they don't know which? What happens if you
report a bug and they can't test whether their bugfix breaks
previously working stuff?
