Markdown Discuss - Oct 2006 - Block quotes with a blank line between them get merged

Text:
> number 1
>
> letter B
> last one

Markdown output:

<blockquote>
  <p>number 1</p>

  <p>letter B</p>

  <p>last one</p>
</blockquote>


Is this the intended behavior? I think there should be two separate
block quote tags like this:

<blockquote>
  <p>number 1</p>

  <p>letter B</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
  <p>last one</p>
</blockquote>

Even more, this:
> number 1
> letter B
> last one
Converts to this:

<blockquote>
  <p>number 1</p>
  
  <p>letter B</p>
  
  <p>last one</p>
</blockquote>


On the dingus anyway.

For whatever it is worth, both perl and php have this behavior while
python gives the expected output. I'd certainly say it is a bug. One
could very easily have a legitimate need to have two separate quotes
(perhaps from different sources) follow each other in a document.
