Why do you think so? This is consistent with everything else not
supported by vanilla Markdown.

Obeying to :with-latex property means "ox-md" is somehow actively
handling LaTeX fragments, which was not the initial intent, IIUC. The
first idea was to provide a sensible default for such objects, because
we're outside the specification anyway. I'd rather not overdo it.

WDYT?
