Hmmm. Why not.

Markdown include characters/sequences which are interpreted as markers: 
_Italic_, **Bold**, *** => horizontal rules, > block quote... `inline 
code`... If they are interpreted within a table cell then probably they 
should be escaped somehow.

I already did in the first mail with the example output copy pasted from 
psql. Some characters are pipe and others are BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL 
characters.

Maybe this is because I have in my ~/.psqlrc:
 \pset linestyle unicode \pset border 2

in which case your reuse of the the aligned stuff should take care of the 
border setting to avoid using special UTF8 characters..
