The nice thing about just sending the markdown directly is that you might be able to guarantee a more limited/safe set of functionality, instead of opening the door to all the bugbears that lurk in full-blown HTML. Of course, to get that safety, you'd have to be disciplined about not allowing too much extra stuff into the markdown variant at render time (i.e. no "let me just stick some raw html in here" verbatim blocks)
