I'll go back to using <code> for code blocks then. :)
Thanks for pointing out the property, Martin.

How about using the <code> element (since it IS code), and using
the following styles:
code {
display: block;
white-space: pre;
}
In my very quick test just now it seems to work in Firefox and IE,
so I'd assume it works pretty much anywhere. This gets you the best
of both worlds - the semantics of <code> and the presentation of
<pre>.
