Thanks for a good review, this looks like a nifty and useful module.
I'm curious if you've discussed some of your dislikes with the module author? Most module authors I've talked to have welcomed patches and updates. It seems like the hyphens-to-hr (or equal sign) conversion would be a simple enough patch, as well as one to handle /italicized/ text. And perhaps using another character sequence to signal "do not escape html entities within"? Although it seems like the more you add to 'plain-text' processing, the more it becomes its own type of markup :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
