It's how Github already handles Mermaid diagrams, so there's precedent, although you're correct that logically there should be a distinction between "display highlighted Mermaid source" and "render Mermaid diagram".

Yes, and now they've reached a dead since they have no way to render mermaid source code except as plain text or by introducing a new name like mermaid-src. It's minor but it's unsatisfying conceptually. I'd rather have them introduce a new "run delimited text into external program and replace by output" tag.
