CSS doesn't change how the HTML is parsed, only how it looks (and sometime how 
it behaves). Similarly, configuration options in a Markdown parser that let you 
adjust *the output* to your linking are very welcome.

As for all the implementations, they mostly vary in edge cases and in their 
extensions to the core syntax. The core Markdown syntax (as defined by John 
Gruber) is pretty much the same everywhere, and this includes how HTML blocks 
are parsed. Implementations doing things differently than core Markdown are 
doing it mostly by adding restrictions out of security concerns with 
user-generated content.

By the way, if you really feel like it you should go ahead and hack your 
preferred implementation to do what you want. Just keep in mind that your 
documents using this tweaked syntax feature won't work right with other 
implementations. This might or might not come to bite you in the future 
depending on what you intend to do with those documents.
