There is a fairly standard set of extensions to the markdown syntax
called Markdown Extra, based on the extensions made for php:

      http://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/

however, a number of markdown processors support it, including 

      multimarkdown: http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/

A couple of ruby processing libraries:

  http://kramdown.rubyforge.org/syntax.html
  http://maruku.rubyforge.org/maruku.html

Kramdown also support org table format.

and python: http://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/extra.html

I have used both ruby libraries extensively. It would be nice for the
markdown exporter to allow using the standard markdown extensions
(perhaps with a switch).
