It seems to me that the stuff inside code tags should be code (or at least code-like).

Just a minor clarification. Please don't use <pre> unless the lines are quite short (max line length of 60 characters should be safe). If you have something that you don't feel is "code-like" but that you don't want line wrapped/justified, you should probably still use <code> tags much of the time.

This has the disadvantage of causing the text to be included when "download code" is selected, but the other problem of having a node that is way, way too wide is much worse.
