Correct, by default, WP doesn't have a way to set content filters on a 
per-post filters.

But my new Text Filter Suite plugin[1] can do it. I'm hoping that 
eventually, we might such a capability a standard WP feature. It would 
be particularly useful for multi-author sites, where certain authors 
prefer a particular markup style, e.g. Textile or Markdown.

My current TFS filters are mostly "entertaining". But I'm planning to 
add "tfs-textile" and "tfs-markdown" sometime soon, which will make it 
much more useful to a wider audience.

Anyhow, I didn't know if you might be interested in looking at my 
implementation for handling per-post formatting on the server end.
